A fine quality pair of French carved walnut open armchairs dating from the late 19th century, beautifully made in the Louis XV taste. The shaped cartouche backs are richly carved with flowing acanthus leaves, scrolls and floral decoration, surmounted by an elegant pierced crest, with the carving continuing throughout the frames, arms and serpentine seat rails.
The chairs retain their generously proportioned, serpentine upholstered backs, arm pads and overstuffed seats, all covered in an attractive floral woven fabric featuring floral swags, baskets and ribbons on a soft cream ground. The upholstery is clean and presents very well, complementing the warm colour and rich patina of the walnut frames.
Raised on elegant cabriole legs with carved knees and scroll feet, the chairs display the superb quality and craftsmanship associated with high-end French furniture of the period.
