They are beautifully designed and are of amazing quality, with stunning thick embossed leather seats and back rests. They have copper studs around the edges, the solid walnut frames have barley twist front legs with lovely stretchers, the two carvers have wonderful scrolled armrests.

We have had the wood re-polished and the leather revived by our leather restorer, there is one area of repair to the outer arm of one carver. The condition is excellent for their age.

Traditional Portuguese and Iberian furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries frequently incorporates intricately tooled and embossed leather panels secured with brass studs, combined with dense woods such as walnut.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods like walnut or chestnut, featuring vegetable-tanned bovine leather upholstery decorated with hand-tooled floral motifs and secured with iron or brass tacks.

Authenticity is determined by examining the patination of the timber, hand-carved joinery details, the method of leather tanning, and the presence of hand-hammered studs rather than modern machine-made fasteners.

These seating options serve as focal points in contemporary dining spaces, pairing effectively with minimalist modern dining tables to create a striking contrast between old and new textures.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking and wood fading, and occasionally treating the leather with specialist microcrystalline wax or leather food.
