Pair of Antique Swedish Neoclassical Solid Elm Armchairs

19th century

Sold by Marylebone Antiques

Description

An impressive and beautifully designed pair of antique Swedish neoclassical solid elm armchairs. They are in the Gustavian style, they were recently imported from Sweden and date from around the 1890-1900 period.

The quality is outstanding, and they are of lovely proportions. The solid elm frames are beautifully shaped, they are very comfortable. The arm rests scroll over nicely at the front, the front legs kick out in a beautiful sabre shaped design. The paws of the front feet are beautifully designed and ebonised, one of the tiny rounded carved pieces has come off at some stage, this is barely noticeable as the section is ebonised like the rest, it is seen in the images.

We have had the frames re-polished and they have been re-upholstered in a cream cotton fabric. The grain patterns and colour tones of the wood are gorgeous, they are in excellent overall condition.
