Antique Baroque Armchairs Lacquered Walnut XVIII Century

Group of six armchairs in ivory lacquered, painted and gilded walnut wood. Shaped backrest; the wavy armrests are carved with an acanthus leaf, both on the grip and in the underarm, the latter develops with a twisting movement and, laterally, the leaf ends in a curl. The legs are truncated cone-shaped, grooved with a vase-shaped foot, embellished with a beaded fret and connected to the band by drip elements. The backrests are decorated with a weave of painted ribbons, which ideally hold the Greek leaf carved parallel to them which delimits the padding; the ribbon motif becomes a design of blue festoons hanging from red galls and with golden tassels, both on the armrests and on the uprights and bands. The carved parts are gilded with gouache.
