Pair of Gustavian Klismos Chairs in Original Paint, circa 1800
A pair of period Gustavian klismos chairs, Swedish, circa 1800, scraped to their original paint and newly covered in linen. The klismos, antiquity's most elegant chair form with its saber legs and swept back, found perhaps its most graceful modern expression in Gustavian Sweden, and period pairs are keenly sought. These chairs unite that celebrated silhouette with the most desirable of surfaces: the original paint, recovered by painstakingly removing later layers, showing the chalky, softened color of true 18th century-technique finishes. Fresh linen seats make them immediately usable, as dining end chairs, at a writing table, or flanking a console. An exceptional pairing of form and surface, with wear consistent with age.
