"Pair Of Gondola Armchairs In Lacquered Wood, Decorated With Chinese Motifs, Late 19th Century"
Gondola-shaped armchairs in black lacquered wood, decorated with a gilded painted decoration with Chinese motifs. The set has a double cane on the back and sides. The seat is decorated with removable cushions in red velvet. The armrests are slightly curved and the legs are arched. Probably of English origin, these armchairs illustrate the influence of the taste for exoticism in Europe at the end of the 19th century.
