About the Item
This exceptional pair of Italian neoclassical armchairs, dating from the 1890s, showcases the refined artistry and bold decorative flourishes of late 19th-century craftsmanship. Each chair is ebonized to a deep, lustrous black, providing a dramatic contrast to the richly carved and gilded details. The standout feature is the magnificent dolphin motif: the gilded dolphin arms curve gracefully forward, their finely carved heads forming the armrests, while additional gilt accents highlight the neoclassical sensibility. The splat features mythological dolphin carvings framed with gilt decoration, reinforcing their commanding presence.
Upholstered in a rich plum-toned velvet, the seats provide both comfort and an added layer of opulence. The combination of ebonized frames, gilt carvings, and jewel-like upholstery makes these armchairs versatile statement pieces. They fit effortlessly into traditional antique settings, elevate Hollywood Regency interiors with glamour and theatricality, and even contrast beautifully against streamlined mid-century modern design.
Rare and dramatic, this pair of carved gilded dolphin armchairs represents the height of Italian neoclassical revival design. Ideal for collectors, decorators, or anyone seeking distinctive seating with historical character and decorative impact.
