Of ancient chairs, ordinarily used for domestic purposes, a variety have been discovered in excavations, or represented in ancient frescoes. The spread of Greek and Roman culture westward introduced the chair to the lesser European nations. Very little is known of the intermediate stages of the evolution of the chair until about the close of the 15th century. Chairs of Gothic design were made in Germany, and, in Italy, velvet-covered chairs were made at the beginning of the 16th century. Italian workmen introduced the curule- shaped chair into England during the reign of Henry VIII. Hardly anything so fully reflects the manners and customs of an age as furniture, and the chair is by far the most sensitive to new and foreign influences. These magnificent chairs were crafted in France near the turn of the century. They feature beautifully carved oak frames and delicately upholstered seats and seatbacks. The frames have charming lathe turned legs and stretchers. The tapestry upholstery is a stunning blue with white woven flowers. This large set of six chairs is perfect for seating all your guests at fine dinner parties. You could also separate them and place them throughout your home. However you decide to use these wonderful chairs, you are sure to love them!! TR969oc173
