READ ABOUT OUR GALLERY. ART NOUVEAU CARVED WALNUT SET OF SIX DINING CHAIRS. French, circa early 20th century; with finely carved grape leaves Item # 911XGB16P. An incredibly rich and finely carved set of dining chairs, these are part of a matched dining room suite we recently acquired. The set of chairs are executed in a dense solid walnut, the corners of each crest rail carved with a matching grape leaf surrounded by scattered grapes. The realism of the carvings is most noteworthy, the foliage not being simply a stylizing of naturalism but a near-photographic representation of life. An overall simplicity is captured in the form of the chairs, left unembellished and allowing the natural wood to convey beauty with a simple molding of the frame and legs and a gentle arch to the seat frame. All six chairs retain early caning that must be redone. Unsigned, but of exquisite quality, they are a fine acquisition for any passionate collector of the Art Nouveau period. 37 3/8″ H x 16 1/4″ D x 17 1/4″ W x 17 7/8″ H to seat. Condition Report: All seats are torn and all of the caning needs to be replaced. Minor scuffs and surface abrasions, overall remaining in excellent structural and visual condition.
