Designed to symbolise status, authority, and ceremony, they were often richly carved and gilded, serving as both practical seating and powerful decorative icons. By the 19th century, there was a renewed fascination with earlier decorative arts, prompting skilled craftsmen to create revived Baroque pieces such as this pair - capturing the drama and splendour of the period with updated upholstery suitable for modern use. An exceptional pair for collectors, decorators, and anyone seeking furniture with true presence.
