This pair of antique French gilt wood side chairs are in great shape, besides the original upholstery. They are part of a whole set being sold on this site, including a sofa & matching pair of salons. There is an image of the complete set below & they are also being shown separately on the site. I would rather sell it all together, but they are also available separately. They are all structurally sound & the gilt frames have naturally aged with the red layer underneath showing through. This all give them a great character look. The carving is exquisite too & they sit on fluted legs. I would date them to around the 1850's period, give or take 25 years.

Antique Victorian Papier Mache Side Chair Inlaid with Mother of Pearl
£275.00 + VAT
Antique Victorian papier mache side chair which is one of a similar pair. They are both on the site separately, but if someone wants them both together I can do a better deal. This chair does need restoration in places, so please enlarge all the images, because I can't possibly point it all out. This chair has at some point in it's life been re-enforced on the back with more wood. Maybe it was broken. Whatever happened was a long time ago, judging from the wooden repair on the back. The seat was also recovered a long time ago along with the other one, because it's the same fabric. I don't really think these chairs are for sitting on anymore, but they are extremely decorative & a fabulous example of Victorian Decorative furniture. This chair has beautiful mother of pearl inlays & other decorative features.

Antique Victorian Papier Mache Chair Inlaid with Mother of Pearl
£275.00 + VAT
This antique Victorian papier mache chair is one of a similar pair that I obtained from a house in Hampstead. They are different, but are the same kind of model. This one has the usual mother of pearl inlays & other decorative features. It has the classic Victorian spoon shaped back & cabriole legs. The seat was probably cane originally, but it has been upholstered a long time ago. Please enlarge all the images to see the general condition. It's by no means perfect & would need restoration in places, although it all seems to be there. We have tried to show most of the defects. If someone wants to buy the two chairs together I will do a better price.

They are in excellent original condition & they don't look like they have ever been touched restoration or polish wise. They are sturdy & the cane seats are also perfect. Please enlarge & brighten up all the images, because there is a lot of fine decoration on the backs & around the seats, which isn't too noticeable in the images, which are a bit on the dark side. I'm not sure of the exact age. They could be Victorian or a bit later. There is a makers or sellers name & address imprinted into the under-side of the seats. These chairs have lovely proportions with wide seats & well turned legs. The backs are decorative too with cross bars & finials on the tops.
