Set of six carved and polychrome wood chairs of Carlos IV style. The set dates from the 19th century, with probable origin in Valencia. The chairs have a high back and are ornamented with a carved composition that includes a coat of arms with the Senyera, crown and floral motifs in relief, suggesting a design with heraldic and official connotations.
The seat is made with bulrush lattice, while the turned legs and the lower crossbar are richly decorated with gilded elements and vegetal motifs. The polychrome highlights the details, lending a majestic air that reinforces its representative character.
Given their refined style and the symbolism incorporated, it is possible that these chairs were destined for an official space, such as a public institution or an assembly hall of a relevant entity in Valencia. The combination of decorative elements suggests that they were part of prestigious furniture, linked to institutional or aristocratic representation.
