Pair of Empire Style Mahogany Side Chairs
Item Details
This pair of 20th-century Empire Revival side chairs is crafted from mahogany and embellished with Neoclassical gilt-bronze mounts. The design features a formal rectangular silhouette with crest rails and seat aprons adorned with cast-bronze floral and foliate appliqués. The chairs are upholstered in a traditional red and cream striped damask featuring laurel wreath medallions, a hallmark of the French Empire style. They stand on front cabriole legs with acanthus leaf mounts terminating in paw feet, and splayed rear legs. While capturing the ‘muscularity and grace’ of the style, the modern construction materials and significant upholstery wear confirm these are residential reproductions intended for high-style decorative use.
