"Pair Of Russian Directoire Chairs In Mahogany, Ebony Brass And Horsehair Covers "
Pair of chairs with curved backs decorated with a tripod Athenian, inlaid with ebony and brass threads. Beautiful and elegant Russian decor from the Directoire period, very late 18th century, circa 1795-1800. Parisian work, probably by Demay or Marcion, the model is very elegant, sophisticated while presenting a false simplicity. For its complete restoration, we chose to keep the horsehair upholstery on its original straps, a new French polish that brings out the mahogany and the ebony and brass threads. And for the cover we opted for a black horsehair fabric woven on hand looms. This luxury fabric is now only manufactured by one company in France and in the world. Width: 46cm Height: 88cm
