Pair Of Anglo-indian Silver-plated Metal Armchairs With Ram's Heads – 20th Century

An elegant pair of Anglo-Indian style armchairs, crafted from patinated metal, featuring a clean, architectural silhouette enhanced by sculpted ornamentation. The armrests terminate in striking stylized ram's heads, an emblematic decorative motif blending European neoclassical influences with Indian artisanal interpretation. The gently curved backrest is accentuated by a shaped stretcher, while the uprights and rails are finely edged with engraved beadwork. The seats, upholstered in a dark textured fabric, contrast harmoniously with the gilt frame, reinforcing the overall refined appearance. Decorative furniture with a strong character, this pair perfectly illustrates the colonial taste for Western forms reinterpreted by workshops in the Indian subcontinent, a 20th-century work inspired by 19th-century designs. Dimensions: Height: 88 cm Width: 63 cm Depth: 55 cm Condition: good overall condition, slight wear and scratches, patina consistent with age, seats in good condition (refurbished later).
