A fine and decorative pair of William & Mary style walnut framed armchairs, dating to circa 1900, of elegant proportions and excellent colour.
Each chair features a tall shaped back with finely woven cane panels, framed within a beautifully moulded walnut surround. The outscrolled arms terminate in bold scroll handrests, adding a sense of movement and refinement to the design.
The seats are also caned and currently fitted with loose cushions for comfort, which can easily be removed to reveal the original canework beneath. The chairs stand on graceful cabriole front legs with pad feet, united by shaped stretchers, reflecting the influence of late 17th century English design.
The walnut has developed a rich, warm patina, enhancing the depth and character of the grain. The caning shows age-related wear in places (as visible), consistent with use, but remains presentable.
A stylish and comfortable pair, ideal for a drawing room, library or interior designer setting.
