A striking pair of Edwardian Sheraton Revival satinwood bergère library armchairs, combining elegant classical lines with richly decorative detail. Each chair features a shaped, arched back and finely caned panels across the back, sides and seat, framed by warm-toned satinwood. The backrests are hand-painted with delicate floral garlands and scrolling foliage, centred by a portrait medallion of a classical lady. Further painted ornament enriches the front rails, arm terminals and square front blocks, which are accented with floral roundels. Slender, reeded front legs and graceful swept rear legs lend the chairs a light, refined stance. The generously proportioned seats are fitted with pale yellow floral cushions, adding softness and a pleasing contrast to the dark cane and glowing wood. Decorative yet inviting, this  pair of chairs would make an elegant focal point in a library, drawing room or refined reading corner.
