Anglo-Dutch chairs of the seventeenth century

A pair of late 17th-century Anglo-Dutch chairs that perfectly embody the refinement and opulence of Baroque furniture of the period. Crafted from dark-patinated carved walnut, they are distinguished by a tall, rectangular backrest, finely openworked with double caning, which brings both lightness and sophistication. The turned uprights are adorned with motifs that highlight the precision of the cabinetmaker's craftsmanship. The deep, cupped seat is covered in a beautiful emerald green silk brocade with damask floral patterns. The generously feather-filled cushions feature two floral boutons positioned at either end. The seat rail is adorned with an embroidered gold-thread passementerie. The turned and sculpted legs, connected by curved stretchers, add both stability and elegance. The gilded ornaments in the shape of shells, flowers, and acanthus leaves create a striking contrast with the dark walnut and emerald green upholstery.
