Pair Of Andrea Viola Armchairs – Charles X Period

A splendid pair of armchairs by Andrea Viola, a refined example of high-quality Neapolitan cabinetmaking from the Charles X era, crafted in the early decades of the 19th century
The armchairs feature a maple wood frame, embellished with refined amaranth wood inlays, in keeping with the elegant and sophisticated style of the great Neapolitan furniture-making tradition. The entire structure is characterized by rich engraved and carved decoration, featuring ornamental motifs in the neoclassical and naturalistic styles.
Particularly noteworthy are the carvings executed by a Neapolitan sculptor and woodcarver, which adorn the upper elements, the uprights, the armrests, and the seat band, culminating in the elegant, contoured front legs and the finely sculpted feet. The wooden surfaces, enlivened by the color contrast between maple and amaranth, lend the piece an appearance of extraordinary decorative richness.
The backrests and seats retain upholstery of an eclectic style, characterized by a distinctive geometric diamond pattern in shades of green and leopard print, edged with gold trim, which further accentuates the sumptuousness of the pieces.
A pair of great elegance and fine craftsmanship, representative of the high-level production of Neapolitan cabinetmaking in the first half of the 19th century, particularly noteworthy for the refinement of its carvings and inlays and for its original decorative design.
