Pair of delicate antique chairs, around 1800- 1820, France
Availability: | In stock |
This pair is for sure not suited for your teenagers. Nor is it idiot-proof. They are best used in your bedroom, for your clothes. Something like that. You can still sit on them, that is not the problem. They aren't even wobbly. But they were just not crafted for our 21st century size and weight. The are delicate, made for the petite and delicate people and their slighter weight. Very delicate, very antique, very French, very beaux gens, beaux monde.
Still with it's original upholstery. Over a hundred years, stunning patine, but with some bits that require a bit of attention. There is a piece of the bow missing on top of the one, and there is a tear in the fabric on the back of the back of the other. Not surprisingly, after more than 100 years. And I have decided to leave it like that, for now.
Because, as I told you, they are still in their original state and whatever I can restore, flip, paint or re-upholstery, will impair that. That said.... if you want to buy them and you order me to restore, flip, paint or re-upholster, I will do so gladly. But until the new owner or owners order me to do so, I let them rest in peace.
Price is for the pair and they are only sold as a pair. They can be shipped to your home, but not by regular mail. But for a small and reasonable fee, they will arrive at your doorstep.
