Bidspirit auction | A Pair of Two Victorian

A Pair of Two Victorian style Carved Dark Wood Side Chairs with Damask Upholstery - This lot comprises a pair of two Victorian style side chairs constructed from a dark-stained wood, possibly walnut. The chairs feature high, elaborately carved backrests in the Neo-Renaissance taste, with pierced crest rails displaying scrolled foliate and shell-like motifs surmounted by scrolled finials. The rectangular back panels and seats are upholstered in a cream-coloured floral damask fabric, finished with a decorative braided gimp trim to the borders. The frames are supported by turned and fluted front legs which terminate in small metal casters, and plain, square-section splayed rear legs. A white adhesive label is present on the lower back rail of the right-hand chair which reads GH486. No manufacturer backstamps or maker's marks are visible on the wooden frames.
