The comfortable, oak-framed chairs date to circa 1800 France, a period of transition both in politics and aesthetic tastes which is exhibited in the refined silhouettes of clean lines enhanced with a minimal number of carved motifs on the arms. Neutral beige upholstery outlined in braided trim is in fair condition while the internal structure remains firm and comfortable for continued, occasional use. It is recommended that the frames be professionally tightened when reupholstered. Sold as a pair. Please view the detailed image gallery for the current condition and message us with any questions.

Swedish 19th Century Painted Linen Press
$3,200.0078.25"H x 53.13"W x 21"D
Dimensions: 78 ¼” H x 53 ⅛” W x 21” D
A Swedish pine buffet à deux corps (that is, a cabinet on chest in two sections) with origins in the 18th century designed with features and style that suit many decorating tastes and storage needs for the modern interior. The cabinet reflects that vibrant red tone of Gustavian antiques, having been made in the 1700s, which displays charming hand-painted faux bois wood grain in the shaped panels of the door fronts. Inside are two long shelves like a linen press, over six smaller drawers that open easily by iron ring pulls. The unpainted wood displays exciting movement and color in the grain. The base section of a three drawer commode appears younger than the upper cabinet, married in the early 19th century. Three drawers use turned knobs to glide easily making this a wonderful storage option for a number of rooms around the home. Gently cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to preserve all the historic character, ready for your interior. We believe this item to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.

$8,500.0058.38"H x 26.75"W x 19"D
Dimensions: 58 ⅜” H x 26 ¾” W x 19” D
English circa 1820 Wellington-style chest of drawers made of mahogany in dazzling flamed grain that stretches across the case. The tall and narrow chest is secured to the sides by corbel-topped carved pilasters which are actually flaps on hinges to secure the drawers and provide a vertical counterpoint to the movement in the grain. No key is present. What appears to be nine drawer fronts are actually seven, like a semainier, reserving the middle for a compact secretary drawer disguised as two drawers which slide out and unfold as the tooled, green leather writing surface. To the back of the case are open pigeon holes and five small drawers veneered in luminous maple. An original glass inkwell is hidden in the lower right drawer. This spectacular desk has been gently cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to maintain every extraordinary detail. We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.

Dimensions: 37” H x 52 ⅛” W x 24” D
A substantial French commode from the 19th century wrapped in finely-grained mahogany trimmed with inlaid brass that frames the drawer-fronts and chamfered corners. The original marble slab blends streaks of peach and white throughout the gray stone for exciting movement, patinated with fine scratches and edge chips. A stack of three drawers whose fronts are matched for expansive continuity of the grain are punctuated by ring pull hardware in brass that coordinates with the expertly inlaid strips of metal creating a border, or paneled effect, around them. One (ornate) key is shared between the working locks, and all drawers have been thoroughly cleaned inside & out to glide easily. Veneer on the side panels displays a lightly rippled effect but remains intact and stable for continued use. Finished with a French paste wax to maintain the gorgeous color and patina, this handsome storage piece is ready for its next home.
