Set of Four Fine Sheraton Revival Inlaid Mahogany Salon Chairs

A superb set of four Sheraton Revival inlaid mahogany salon chairs, dating to around 1900. Elegant, refined and beautifully drawn, the chairs have shaped heart-form backs with carved and pierced central splats, fine cabriole front legs and extensive inlaid stringing throughout. The design draws on the grace and lightness of late 18th-century Sheraton furniture, with a particularly delicate silhouette and excellent decorative detail. The chairs have a wonderfully poised appearance, with sweeping backs, slender proportions and crisp, well-executed carving. The mahogany has good colour, while the inlaid stringing gives definition to the frames and emphasises the quality of the design and craftsmanship. They would make a very attractive set of salon, drawing room, bedroom or occasional chairs. The seats are sprung and have been recently reupholstered using traditional methods in a neutral woven fabric, which works well with the mahogany frames and could be easily changed if a different covering were desired.
