About the Item
Presenting a magnificent set of 14 Brazilian dining chairs from the 19th century, originating from a historic sugar cane plantation in Pernambuco. This ensemble includes 12 side chairs and 2 armchairs, all crafted from solid jacarandá-da-bahia wood, with original cane seats and finely hand-carved decorative motifs — a true testament to the artisanal excellence of Brazil’s imperial period.
These chairs belong to the Beranger model, a style widely embraced by the rural elite of Northeastern Brazil during the 1800s. The design reflects a local adaptation of French neoclassical influence, blending graceful curves, floral carvings, and strong silhouettes. The pierced and sculpted crests, together with the elegant scroll arms of the host chairs, evoke the grandeur and sophistication of the casa-grande dining rooms during the Second Empire — an era marked by wealth and tradition rooted in the sugar economy.
Their provenance from an authentic 19th-century sugar plantation adds historical weight and symbolic value to this set. More than functional furniture, these pieces are living relics of a defining chapter in Brazil’s social and economic development, where power and hospitality met at tables surrounded by chairs such as these.
Rare in both quantity and preservation, this 14-piece set is ideal for refined interiors, historical collections, or connoisseurs seeking to honor Brazilian heritage through authentic, museum-worthy furnishings.
