Brass Mounted Klismos Chairs, Early 19th Century

A pair of elegant Regency period 'Klismos' chairs, enriched with gilding and brass mounts

England, circa 1810.

Why we like them 

These superb quality, wonderfully stylish Klismos chairs, embellished with parcel-gilding and elegant brass mounts, is a particularly fine and rare design. 

These super smart chairs are inspired by ancient Greek examples called 'Klismos' that were often found depicted on Attic and Apulian pottery and ancient stone reliefs.
