We are pleased to offer this BEAUTIFUL PAIR antique, French, or English, Empire style, dining or fireside/accent chairs. The chairs date from the mid 1800s and features ELABORATE carving. They are walnut and retain the very dark, original, stained finish. The back of the chairs are arched and deeply carved/incised with an acanthus scroll and rope pattern. Atop the center arch is a clover leaf, gothic cross. On each side of the chair back is a carved lion head finial. These are extremely detailed and feature a roaring (open mouth) lion head. The lion detail continues to the front of the chair. Detailed, carved paw feet accent the front legs. The paw design is on the front and side profiles of the feet with the back profile smooth. The chairs have GORGEOUS, vintage fabric. The fabric is soft, almost like a very short nap chenille. It is a deep crimson red with a unique pattern. The pattern features large, golden bees. It also features laurel wreaths. The wreaths are tonal with the red fabric and are only visible in certain light. It is a very interesting fabric. The chairs are in very good condition for their age. They are heavy and sturdy. They retain the original, flat screws that were used during construction. The fabric is good with only minor signs of age/use. It is free rips or tears and only shows some very minor soiling in only a couple of small areas. The original finish does have crazing and has a crackled appearance. It is not loose or peeling and it is in good condition for its age. This is a fabulous antique chair. The chair measures 40\" tall. It is 18.5\" wide at the front feet and it is 20\" deep. The seat height is 18.5\". The seat is 18\" at the widest and is 15\" front to back. Shipping via UPS with insurance provided for you. Paypal accepted. Thanks!
