About the Item

Elegant pair of 19th century French Empire-style armchairs featuring beautifully figured burl wood and a distinctive gondola-shaped back, a form that became emblematic of refined seating during the Empire period. The curved silhouette flows gracefully from the backrest to the gently scrolled arm terminals, creating both visual harmony and comfort. The warm, honey-toned burl wood displays exquisite grain patterns that highlight the craftsmanship and quality of the period. The chairs stand on elegant sabre legs, typical of the Empire aesthetic, adding to their sense of balance and poise. Upholstered in a finely textured fabric with subtle geometric motifs in muted olive-brown tones, they are finished with antique brass nailhead trim outlining the contours of the frame. This sophisticated pair combines neoclassical inspiration with understated luxury, making them an ideal choice for a library, salon, or study. In good antique condition, showing light wear consistent with age and use.
