About the Item
This beautiful pair of French Napoleon III open arm chairs are made of mahogany in the Empire manner. The pair dates back to the 19th century and is embellished with bronze d’ore laurel leaves and floriate d’ore mounts throughout. Note the top of the arms, the mahogany back which is framed with the bronze d’ore details, as well as the front and both sides of the seat. The pair is upholstered in fine, light red silk of the Empire style, a combination of details which result in a timeless and elegant set.
The piece is part of the collection from The French Antique Shop, a fourth generation antique store in the heart of the French Quarter of New Orleans. A space that was created and curated at first by Marie and Marcelle and Granet. Their first shop was located in the heart of Paris, and opened in 1919 after they migrated to Paris from Romania post World War I. Shortly after establishing themselves in Paris, as a Jewish family they were forced to flee in the late 1930s before World War II. Marie and Marcel opened up their shop in New Orleans in 1939, the city in which this antique collection has grown and continues to flourish. The store is now run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, Michael, and Brian Friedlander, and is a highly curated space filled with rare antiquities, fine antique lighting, eclectic fixtures, and everything in between. We have imported all the antique items in our collection directly from France.
