PAIR OF EMPIRE STYLE ARMCHAIRS FRANCE, FIRST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY
PAIR OF EMPIRE STYLE ARMCHAIRS FRANCE, FIRST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY
A distinguished pair of Empire period armchairs crafted from mahogany and adorned with gilt bronze mounts. The chairs form an elegant semi-cylindrical volume with straight, architecturally emphatic front legs and dynamically curved rear supports. The high sweeping arms merge seamlessly into the backrests and terminate in finely cast gilt bronze ram’s heads, serving as the principal symbolic and decorative accents. The primary ornamentation is concentrated on the façade: the legs and horizontal stretchers are enriched with delicately executed grotesques echoing the ram motif, as well as arabesques with trumpeting trophies, pearls, and shells. The warm, deep tone of the polished mahogany provides a refined contrast to the brilliance of the gilt bronze. The upholstery is executed in classical patterned textile with vegetal motifs, harmoniously complementing the строгая architectural clarity of the form.Dimensions: Height: 78 cm. Width: 53 cm.Condition: After professional full restoration. The structure has been stabilised, the mahogany carefully conserved, the gilt bronze mounts cleaned and secured, and the upholstery renewed with respect for the historical character of the pieces.Provenance: Private European collection.
