Pair Of Chairs With Japanese-style Decoration – Black And Gold Lacquered Wood – 19th / Early 20th Century

An elegant pair of black-lacquered wooden chairs, featuring painted decorations inspired by the Far East.

The openwork backs feature a central panel adorned with Japanese-style landscapes, brought to life with figures, pagodas, and vegetation, rendered in golden and polychrome tones.

The side rails are accented with delicate golden floral and geometric motifs.

The turned front legs, topped with balls, are connected to the rear legs by carved crossbars.

The seats have been reupholstered with black fabric featuring white botanical motifs, adding a contemporary touch to these antique chairs.

The decoration shows signs of wear and areas where the lacquer is missing, attesting to their age and giving them a beautiful patina.
