It was listed by Marylebone Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
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.
