Here is a great example of a superb quality set of 8 French provincial Carolean revival upholstered walnut dining chairs (circa 1860 - 1880) consisting of two armchairs and 6 side chairs from the 2nd Empire period. The chairs are constructed of solid walnut and feature comfortable high backs.
The set of chairs feature arched heads, high backs and the firm comfortable seats. There are very pretty carved scroll solid walnut arms to the armchairs. To the underside of the seats, the chairs feature the original carved Carolean and bobbin style double “H” stretchers with a very pretty prominent half-moon carved front stretcher. The undersides of the chair feature traditional hessian upholstery. The seats are firm so that you do not sink into the seats but at the same time is extremely comfortable.
