An elegant set of six chairs in solid mahogany and mahogany veneer. They feature saber legs and openwork scrolled backs with carved bands of facing lyre scrolls and palmettes.
The removable seats are upholstered in embroidered floral tapestry.
Early 19th century.
Using mahogany with large, smooth, uncarved surfaces, adorned only with carved bands featuring understated antique and Etruscan motifs and their saber legs, these chairs perfectly illustrate the significant interplay between English and French decorative arts during this period. They are thus almost indistinguishable from equivalent English Regency-style models.
