Victorian Furniture. Absolutely the best pair of 19th Century French armchairs (fauteuils, arm chairs) we have had. The price is for the pair. This is a decorators dream. These French fauteuils have everything going for them. They are from the 1800s. We are dating them to the 3rd quarter of the 19th Century to about 1850-1875. I believe they are made of a fruitwood. These were made in the French Empire style. The carving is outstanding. Look at the swan carved arms. The chairs are all hand-carved. Both chairs have an Aubusson style tapestry upholstery that is secured with bronze or brass nail heads. The chairs are both in excellent antique condition. The finish is original and in excellent shape. There are no breaks or repairs. Just normal age appropriate minor imperfections(scuffs, dings, natural aging, etc..). The aubusson upholstery is old and possibly original. The upholstery looks nice, but upon examination there is some areas of wear and a few small holes. This pair of fauteuils is outstanding. You would have to look long and hard to find a pair of chairs this fabulous.
