Set of Six 19th Century Napoleon III Chairs includes 2 Armchairs creates a style statement like no other!  The exquisitely carved armchairs feature fully laden grapevines creating a sculpted arched crown overlooking the generously sized seatbacks, with padded armrests fitted with carved orbs and supported by turned and tapered columns, motifs that are repeated with the legs below which are connected with double lyre stretchers.  Tooled and dyed leather upholstery is still serviceable although showing its age, yet reveals the fact that these chairs were of the exclusive domain of a very affluent household.  The four side chairs duplicate the designs of the armchairs in every way but size and armrests, exuding a quality that is not attainable in today's furnishings.  An exquisite combination of classical architecture and Renaissance-inspired ornamentation which is a hallmark of the Napoleon III period is epitomized in this set, sure to catch the attention of anyone entering the room!
