Pair of Walnut Armchairs c.1880

Pair of late 19th.c. French walnut open armchairs c.1880. Shapely moulded frames in solid walnut with curved oval backrests and open arms over sprung seats. Carved detail to the arm terminals raised on swept supports flowing gracefully into the shaped front legs, the sinuous design continuing across the apron below the seat. Raised on the original turned wooden castors. Upholstered in a deep red velvet with brass studs. Original large illustrated maker’s label to the underside of both chairs. Some old knocks and repairs to the frames and minor wear to the upholstery. Otherwise very good condition, solid and sturdy, cleaned and waxed in our workshops.
