These are also very comfortable armchairs with generous proportions & a great all round shape. They look to me early Victorian or William IV period & I think they are English or possibly French. Please enlarge all the images. You will notice that there is a bit of ormolu missing in a couple of places on the back legs & there is a very small piece of wood missing on the edge of one of the back legs which is hardly noticeable. These chairs have come straight out of a London residence & we haven't done anything to them, because they are structurally sound. It might be a little bit hard to have the missing ormolu replaced, although anything can be done for a price. Personally, I would leave the back mounts alone. Or, they could just be taken off the back legs, so no-one will be any the wiser. Many chairs like these don't even have mounts on the back legs. I would date them to around the 1830-40's.
