Pair of Edwardian Mahogany Chippendale Revival Open Armchairs / Elbow Chairs

A handsome pair of mahogany open armchairs, designed in the Chippendale Revival taste, dating to the late 19th / early 20th century.

These elegant chairs feature beautifully shaped and carved pierced splat backs with scrolling foliate decoration, surmounted by moulded serpentine crest rails. The shaped open arms terminate in well-carved hand grips, giving the chairs both visual refinement and practical comfort.

Raised on square section legs united by stretchers for strength and stability, the chairs are upholstered with decorative floral needlepoint tapestry drop-in seats, adding warmth and traditional character.

Well-proportioned and highly versatile, these attractive chairs would work equally well as occasional chairs, desk chairs, bedroom seating, or in a hall or drawing room setting. Their classic design allows them to sit comfortably in both traditional and eclectic interiors.

A decorative and practical pair offering timeless appeal.

Condition:
General age-related wear consistent with use, with minor marks and patination to the frames. Upholstery in good clean order.
