Description

A refined pair of mahogany armchairs executed in the neoclassical taste, distinguished by elegant lyre-form backs and finely carved classical ornament. The rectangular crest rails display attractive figured mahogany panels framed by small carved rosettes, above a radiating fan motif that crowns the lyre splat composed of slender vertical reeds.
Gracefully curved arms terminate in tight scroll ends and are supported by spiral-turned baluster supports, introducing a subtle decorative contrast to the otherwise restrained classical structure. The rounded upholstered seats are covered in a pale patterned fabric and finished with decorative trim.
The chairs are raised on tapered, fluted legs headed by square blocks with carved detailing, reinforcing the neoclassical architectural vocabulary of the design. The warm mahogany frames show pleasing grain and careful craftsmanship throughout, with crisp carving to the arms, splats, and leg elements.
