Set of 6 Louis XIII style chairs with burgundy leather and nailhead trim from the late 19th century.
Beautiful set of six Louis XIII style chairs made of solid wood stained walnut, dating from the late 19th century. The legs are turned and fluted, ending in a ball, connected by an H-shaped stretcher typical of the style. The backs feature a sculpted upper rail with leaf and scroll motifs, framed by scroll-shaped uprights, with a rounded panel of burgundy leather held by a row of bronzed upholstery nails. The seat, also in burgundy leather with nails, rests on a frame whose central rail is adorned with scale and scroll motifs. The set shows wear consistent with its age: tears and peeling of the leather at the corners of some seats, and one missing nail. Despite this, the six chairs maintain a beautiful uniformity of shape and color, which is commendable for a set of this age. A restoration of the leather would restore their charm. Ideal for a character dining room or a styled interior. Dimensions per chair: H. 94 cm × W. 45 cm × D. 45 cm — Total weight of the set: 15 kg.
