Pair of armchairs. Spain, ca. 1900.
Lemongrass wood and pink silk.
Measurements: 94 x 55 x 53 cm.
Set of two dining chairs in a simple style, with a lemonwood structure and silk upholstery with simple geometric motifs that are repeated rhythmically on the pink background. The chairs have two straight, truncated cone-shaped front legs and slightly curved rear legs that open towards the back. In addition, the front legs have a foot that is distinguished from the rest of the leg by a ball decoration carved into the leg itself. The waist of the chairs is smooth, from which the forearms emerge, combining a closed, upholstered space with an open space created by straight, synthetic lines, which lend great elegance to the whole. On the backrest of both chairs there is a gold-coloured applique in the form of a scroll.
