Pair of Napoleon III chairs in brown tufted leather.

Pair of Napoleon III style chairs dating from the second half of the 19th century, featuring a tufted backrest highlighted by an elegant openwork handle in the upper rail. Made from solid wood with warm tones — likely beech or walnut — they showcase turned and fluted front legs as well as saber-shaped back legs, all finished with a delicate border of brass nails. Their refined silhouette and generous seating will easily find a place around a dining table, in a bourgeois office, or to add character to an entrance. Condition: Chairs are perfectly sound, stable, and robust for everyday use. The original leather exhibits an authentic cognac patina marked by nuances and superficial signs of wear that add to its charm, accompanied by a small discreet crack in the wood at the top of one backrest. A natural wear full of character that testifies to their history without compromising their elegance or sturdiness.
