Pair Of Empire-style Mahogany Wingback Chairs
Pair of Empire-period mahogany bergère chairs,
France, circa 1820–1830
An elegant pair of Empire-period mahogany armchairs, resting on tapered front legs and featuring remarkable armrests carved in the shape of swan necks, topped with finely chiseled stylized heads.
The slightly sloping backs are crowned by a crossbar carved with plant motifs.
The set retains the beautiful, understated, and balanced lines characteristic of Restoration-period furniture, which drew inspiration from the Empire style.
The upholstery has been reupholstered in a sumptuous crimson red fabric featuring medallions and gilded foliage motifs, offering a particularly elegant contrast to the warmth of the mahogany.
The seat cushions are removable.
These wingback chairs will fit equally well in a classic interior or in a contemporary setting seeking pieces with character.
Condition
Very good overall condition.
The frame is sound and stable.
The upholstery and fabric are in very good condition for their age.
There are a few slight signs of age on the wood, which do not affect the piece’s appearance.
