Marylebone Antiques has dated this piece to the 1910s.
These chairs have very generous proportions, with 'Trafalgar' backs, scroll over arms & sabre legs. The laurel backs & baubles are ebonized. I would say they date from around the 1890-1910 period, although they may be older. Pairs of 'Empire' style armchairs like these are becoming extremely hard to find & are very sought after. Take a good look at the beautiful grain of the Satin Birch.
