Description

We are delighted to offer for sale this super rare pair of totally original 17th century circa 1640-1680 French Caquetoire armchairs with ornately carved arms and period, Polychrome painted leather back rests

Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote, please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price.

I have a suite of four of these chairs which have a leather upholstered base, they are listed under my other items

These are pure art furniture from every angle, they just scream huge amounts of age style and charm, the only similar example I have found is currently on exhibition with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, its detailed as the second half of the 16th century which is around 100 years early than this example

The chairs have a stunning timber patina, the first chair depicts dragons to the top with what looks like a Maiden and a Knight to the arms, the second chair has Cherub angels to the top. Both of the polychrome painted leather back rests have aged wonderfully and have huge amount of charm, they display Neoclassical angels in flight

The timber has been deep cleaned, hand condition waxed and hand polished, it has a good rich glow to it, there is very old signs of worm, maybe 100-200 years old, they have huge amounts of patina as you would expect, nothing which detracts from the sublime look and feel
