About the Item

A magnificent pair of 19th-century hand-carved lounge chairs by the celebrated Italian sculptor Victor Aimone, whose mastery of Gothic Revival carving earned him international acclaim and a Gold Medal at the Paris Exhibition. These extraordinary chairs showcase Aimone’s unparalleled ability to merge fantasy, narrative, and refined craftsmanship into a single sculptural composition. The wooden backrests are a true highlight, intricately carved with a dramatic scene featuring two knights (the other chairs 2 monks) framed by a pair of powerful dragons. The dragons hold a central heraldic shield with their claws, their body, wings, and fierce expressions rendered with remarkable depth and precision. This commanding tableau captures the medieval spirit that defines Aimone’s most celebrated work. The armrests end in exquisitely carved satyrs, each figure portrayed with expressive musculature, curling horns, and a playful yet enigmatic presence, adding a mythological richness to the design. Beneath the seat, the legs feature striking demonlike faces with bat-like wings, a bold Gothic motif carved with exceptional detail and dramatic shadowing. Each chair stands on robust lion-claw feet, lending a sense of power and stability while highlighting Aimone’s anatomically precise carving style. All sculptural elements are executed entirely by hand, showcasing the level of artistry and labour invested into each piece. The chairs come with gorgeous green upholstery, beautifully preserved and framed by elegant champagne-gold trims, which complement the warm patina of the oak and accentuate the richness of the carved surfaces. A rare and museum-worthy pair, these Victor Aimone lounge chairs represent the pinnacle of 19th-century Italian Gothic Revival craftsmanship, immersive artworks that elevate any refined interior or distinguished collection. Both chairs are signed by Victor Aimone. This set of museum worthy gothic design chairs comes with free shipping safely packed from Amsterdam to you in 10 days.
