About the Item

This pair of late eighteenth century French Directoire period painted side chairs features its original patina. Their curved seat backs are detailed with a hand carved laurels at the top and a scrolling pattern in the center with a palmette. A Greek key pattern around the apron and rosettes inset into lozenges finish the look. The front legs are detailed with a striated pattern around the top and the rear legs curve gently outward "en sabres", which in English translates to "like sabers." The seats are upholstered in a striped green and blue fabric that complements the vestiges of varied shades of paint. c. 1790.
