About the Item

This exceptional pair of armchairs is a masterful revival of the Neoclassical Empire and Klismos styles, popularized by influential designers of the mid-20th century. The elegant frames feature gently curved arms and saber legs, finished in a subtle, creamy paint. The most distinguishing feature is the pierced backrest, centrally adorned with a stylized lyre motif—a classic symbol of the classical design vocabulary. Upholstered in a luxurious, creamy white damask, these chairs combine historical refinement with enduring comfort, making them perfect accent pieces for formal settings, elegant dining rooms, or luxurious dressing areas. These refined armchairs offer versatile seating and striking visual appeal, easily integrating into Hollywood Regency, Traditional, or European-inspired interiors. Each chair measures 20.5" W × 14" seat depth, with a back height of 34" and a seat height of 19". The chairs are presented in great vintage condition, maintaining their structural integrity and elegant finish. The paint shows minor chipping and wear appropriate to age, which enhances the antique character and patina of the wood. This pair represents an opportunity to acquire functional, high-style vintage seating rooted in classical design tradition.
