A pair of Swedish Biedermeier armchairs from circa 1820 in birch that expresses the most extraordinary patterns (intrinsic to the wood) but have been revealed by the skilled hand of the artisan. The rather square and restrained profile of the chairs is contrasted by the lyre represented on the splat, which incorporates thin metal rods as the strings of the instrument. Seats are currently upholstered in a heavyweight twill material of complementary faded brick tone that is in worn condition but acceptable to continue using. They are a natural seat height for dining, and generous in scale to incorporate as occasional chairs for a living room setting. Wood frames have been gently cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to maintain the natural luster. Please view all the detailed images to see the current condition as they are an important part of the product description. Sold as a pair only. Seat height: 18 ½” Arm height: 25 ½”
