A striking pair of generously proportioned bergère armchairs, combining ebonised frames with parcel-gilt detailing, natural cane work and black velvet cushions.
Each chair has a gently curved crest rail enriched with gilt fluting and a row of gilt ball ornaments. The shaped back and side panels are finely caned, creating a light and open appearance while retaining the enveloping form associated with the traditional bergère chair.
The sweeping arms terminate in bold inward-scrolling ends, with upholstered arm pads providing additional comfort. Further gilt mouldings, roundels and fluted details highlight the dark ebonised frames.
The chairs retain their caned seats, which are fitted with deep removable cushions upholstered in black velvet. They stand on fluted sabre-shaped front legs and swept rear legs, all terminating in brass caps and castors.
