Six lacquered armchairs. Venice, last quarter of the 18th century

Group of six armchairs in ivory lacquered walnut wood, painted and gilded. Shaped backrest; the wavy armrests are carved with an acanthus leaf, both on the grip and in the under-armrest, the latter develops with a twisting movement and, laterally, the leaf ends in a curl. The legs are truncated-conical, grooved with a vase-shaped foot, embellished with a Greek fret of beads and connected to the band by drip elements. The backrests are decorated with an interweaving of painted ribbons, which ideally hold the carved foliage Greek fret parallel to them that delimits the padding; the ribbon motif becomes a design of blue festoons hanging from red galleys and with gilded tassels, both on the armrests and on the uprights and bands. The carved parts are gilded with leaf gold. Dimensions: 99 x 62 x 56.5 cm. CODE: ANSESE0192814
