Two armchairs with curved seats and backs, offering great comfort and a timeless style. Major authenticity guarantees: The original brass manufacturer’s plaque, riveted and perfectly preserved on the back of the chairs, bears the inscription: "Société Anonyme de Saint-Sauveur Arras". The iconic "horse hoof" feet (or slipper feet), an exclusive visual signature highly sought after by collectors of this prestigious manufacture. Condition and patina: The set is in superb condition for use. It has withstood the test of time while retaining its original, sound, and robust structure. It showcases a magnificent and authentic surface rust patina that gives it all its historical charm. Deliberately left "in its juice", it has undergone no modern stripping or recent painting to preserve its historical and financial value.
