Why we like them
These superb quality, wonderfully stylish Klismos chairs, embellished with brass and ebonised Greek-key patterns, is a particularly fine and rare design. Upholstered in the luxurious and durable horsetail textile, these super smart chairs will be a very chic addition to an eclectic or modern interior.
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.
