cherry wood, oil colors
Directoire around 1800
Dimensions: height: 84 cm, seat height 47 cm
Description:
Four country French chairs made of solid cherry wood.
Stud feet connected by cross braces, both front and back contribute significantly to the design of the chairs.
Very unusual back boards with four different figures from Greek mythology painted in oil paint.
These four chairs, despite their basic provincial tendency, have an exceptionally noble appearance.
For example, the rather rustic solid cherry wood looks fine and elegant because of the elegant sweep in the back studs. The painting in the back board contrasts with the more rustic bracing of the chair frame.
A set of chairs comparable in style (same basic form, also painting in the back board) is in the Musée Nicolas Rolin in Autun, France.
A similar set of chairs is in the Musée Nicolas Rolin and is illustrated in the reference book:
Éditions Massin – La Bourgogne Mobilier Régional p.59.
