A pair of Italian Louis XIV style walnut armchairs, 19th century, upholstered in warm tan leather on seats and tall arched backs. The frames display the full vocabulary of the style: scrolled arms, turned supports, and shaped stretchers, carved in walnut with a deep aged patina that plays handsomely against the leather. Pairs of high-backed leather armchairs are perennially useful, bringing gravitas to a library, flanking a fireplace, or standing at the ends of a dining table, and the leather has developed the soft, burnished character that only age provides. Both frames are sound and the seats sit comfortably, with wear to the leather and wood honestly consistent with age and use.
