A fabulous pair of French arm chairs with carving throughout, including a central pair of flowers at the top of the back rest and on the base of the chair. Single flowers are carved on both front legs as well. Original tapestry upholstery depicts a man playing a musical instrument with a dog at his feet on the back and various designs including a pair of birds, possibly peacocks on the seat of one chair. The other chair depicts a woman who appears to be sewing with a cat or perhaps a small dog on the back of the other and similar designs, including a pair of small dogs on the seat. The upholstery is secured by brass tacks and horse hair is probably under the arms and the backs of the chairs.
