Pair of Late 19th Century French Armchairs with Leather Backs

A wonderful pair of late 19th century French armchairs, these have leather covered backs with a great patina and will originally have had matching hide seats which have been stripped back, along with the reverse side of the seat backs. The splendid walnut chair frames are ornately carved and the original upholstery pins make a handsome addition to these stately pieces. The seats are well sprung, wide and relatively low, making them a very comfortable place to sit and they will make a great addition to a library or work well as hall chairs. These are offered in their current stripped back condition, but if required we have an upholsterer on site who can help with discussing coverings to your own specifications. Dating to circa 1880, these are made of walnut and leather, and originate from France.
