Large Pair of C19th French High Back Armchairs

Unusually large and very comfortable pair of French late c19th high back armchairs with solid carved oak frames and original tapestry upholstery.

The seats are a generous size and the height of the back is good for head supports, so they make for a comfortable pair of chairs, happy to sit in these all evening!

The frames are very well carved and are carved all the way around the frame, so if you were to "free stand" them in the centre of a room, they are finished to the rear. The fabric to the rear is plain rather than full tapestry though.

The tapestry coverings are in good condition with just a little area of wear to one of the seat backs, but this may well clean out...will see how it goes, but looks worse in the photos than it does when you see them for yourself.

The seats have a deep sprung seat which has worn well and still supports well, adding to the comfort level of the chairs!

If you love the chairs, but not the tapestry, I can arrange for them to be re upholstered for you...please get in touch.

Measuring:

43'' or 109cm high

28 1/2'' or 72.5cm wide

27'' or 69cm deep

Height to top of sprung seat is 18 1/2'' or 47cm but does squish down of course

Width of the seat area between the arms is 24'' or 61cm
