SET OF FOUR NEOCLASSICAL GONDOLA SIDE CHAIRS
Circa early 20th century; refinished with new upholstery
Item # 905YKJ20P
An unusually fine set of four gondola side chairs in the Neoclassical taste, they are relatively austere and exhibit some of the Gustavian aesthetic in the simple carvings and clean lines. The pearl-like opalescence of the painted finish is burnished and glows beautifully under waxes. Each chair is highlighted with polychromed green curled ears that culminate in rosette carvings, these mirrored in the rosettes at each knee of the simple sabre legs, these terminating in original brass castor sabots. They are newly upholstered in a woven gray linen fabric.
Measurements: 33" H x 20" W x 17 3/4" D; 16" H to seat
