Set of six Empire chairs, circa 1810-1825 Usually made of elm, these are made of a much stronger wood: ash. Although ash is also flexible, it is much harder and stronger. The backrest features an urn-shaped design featuring birds. The upholstery fabric is of excellent quality and in a matching ecru color. Original, vintage springs provide excellent cushioning. The chairs are all sturdy. Seat hight: 47 cm.
