About the Item

A charming pair of Scandinavian armchairs crafted in solid wood, featuring beautifully hand-carved floral details that reflect traditional folk art craftsmanship. The chairs are finished in a warm red-brown painted surface, enhancing the sculptural quality of the wood and giving them a rich, earthy presence. Each chair is adorned with a hand-carved floral medallion to the backrest, decorated in subtle tones of red, pink, and yellow. These delicate color accents add depth and character while celebrating the decorative traditions of Nordic rural design. The gently curved armrests and solid proportions provide both visual strength and everyday functionality. Ideal as accent chairs in a dining room, hallway, as a desk chair, or country house interior, these armchairs bring a sense of history, warmth, and authenticity to any space. Their expressive hand-carved details and original painted finish make them a distinctive and decorative pair. These sculptural chairs will complement many interior styles. A modern, antique, classic, Scandinavian or an wabi sabi home decor.
