Item Details

A rare and stylish set of four 19th-century Neoclassical side chairs, likely Northern European, with rich classical symbolism.

Each chair features a square back framing a centrally mounted gilt-brass Caduceus splat—the heraldic staff entwined by dual serpents and topped with outspread wings. Associated with Hermes (Mercury), the Caduceus serves as a classical symbol of trade, commerce, and diplomacy, as well as a long-standing emblem of medicine. 

Typical of Northern European Neoclassical and Gustavian design, the wooden frames retain a wonderfully authentic distressed, patinated painted finish. The corners are accented with decorative gilt rosette appliques, leading down to parcel-gilt tapering legs with fluted details. 

The seats have been newly reupholstered in a beautiful silk, bordered with contrasting studding over matching trim. 

Condition: Very good structural condition with beautiful, authentic surface wear and patina to the painted finish. Seats are newly upholstered in silk.

Measurements: Height 85cm x Width 44cm x Depth 45cm. Seat Height approximately 47cm.
