N. 2 High Chairs in Walnut

A pair of North Italian carved walnut armchairs, Veneto, Neo-Gothic period (19thcentury)
the armchairs mimicking the shape of choir stalls with jutting large, pierced rosette elements on either side of the rectangular back-rest centred by similarly-carved and pierced rosettes, the flat arm rests partially supported by carved grotesque beast-like heads, the sides decorated with plectrum-shaped carvings with further inset rosettes, the flat hinged seat on shaped trestle supports ending in paw feet

The armchairs are held together entirely by wooden key joints rather than by nails; as such, they can be easily disassembled             High 42in.
