Three Edwardian tub-shaped armchairs crafted in the Sheraton revival style. Each chair features a continuous curved top rail and arms supported by multiple vertical spindles. The backrest incorporates three decorative splats, with a central splat featuring a pierced diamond fretwork design, flanked by two matching smaller splats. The chairs are constructed from a stained hardwood, possibly mahogany or beech, and are raised on four square-section tapered legs terminating in spade feet. The fixed, stuffed-over seats are upholstered in a cream-ground fabric decorated with a printed motif of birds and floral sprays in muted pink and green tones, finished with a coordinated decorative gimp trim. Included is a loose jacquard tapestry scatter cushion depicting an Orientalist garden scene with figures in traditional attire, reminiscent of Flemish or Belgian tapestry styles.
Condition report:
The chairs are in good structural condition. There is noticeable wear and thinning to the polished finish on the curved top rails and at the ends of the arms, resulting in light scuffing and exposure of the underlying wood. The upholstery is intact across both chairs but shows signs of light soiling and age-related wear; a professional cleaning is recommended.
