About the Item

This pair of Biedermeier-style Empire armchairs blends the architectural aesthetic of Neoclassicism with the decorative sensibility of the early 19th century. Crafted with light-toned fruitwood frames and accented with dramatic ebonized details, the chairs present a interplay of contrast and form. The sweeping Klismos-inspired top rails with scrolled ends reference ancient Greco-Roman seating, while the open backs are anchored by a bold, centrally placed ebonized wreath splat that reinforces the symmetry associated with the Empire style. Graceful scroll arms terminate in tight volutes capped with ebonized spherical finials, and the rear legs display a gentle saber curve that adds both visual dynamism and structural balance. The seats are upholstered in a lustrous black textile with a subtle sheen, embellished with finely embroidered gold polka dots. Tailored piping provides a crisp, finished edge that complements the smooth wood surfaces and precise joinery. Offered as a matched pair, these armchairs are well-suited to formal living rooms, libraries, studies, or elegant reception spaces.
