About the Item
A pair of antique chairs, created from walnut wood with a polychrome technique, honours us with its presence, testimony to a bygone era. Admire their majesty, for they date back to the late 1700s and their age is engraved on the seat in ancient characters: 1797, a year whispered by the breeze of history.
A special feature of the chairs is its folding seat. When the seat is gently opened, it turns into a kneeler inviting reverence and contemplation. But it is their polychrome painting that steals your breath, a symphony of colours adorning the wood with delicate painted flowers and ornamental motifs. The skilful hand of a long-lost artist is immortalised in the vibrant paint strokes and hues that dance like poetry on the wooden canvas.
Baroque in form, they embody the essence of their time, exuding opulence and grace. They are silent witnesses to a world of grandeur, a world of dancing elegance and refined taste. As their curves and lines echo the harmonious melodies of a bygone era, where art and craftsmanship danced in unison.
When we look at these antique chairs, we cannot help but be enchanted by the stories they carry. Stories of encounters in candle-lit rooms, of whispered conversations and heartfelt confessions, of laughter and merriment that once filled the air. These chairs have spanned the ages, bearing witness to the ebb and flow of generations. In their seats we find their date engraved in paint: 1797.
Envision them now, proudly placed in classic living rooms, where nostalgia intertwines with contemporary splendor. Or imagine them gracing elegant conservatories, where the sun's gentle caress lingers, embracing the timeless beauty of days gone by.
In their presence, we are reminded of the impermanence of all things, and yet, how artistry can transcend the limitations of mortality. Let us cherish these antique chairs, for they are more than mere furniture; they are living remnants of history's embrace.
