Aesthetic Movement Ebonized and Gilt Wood Side Chairs with Cane Seats C. 1880

About the Item

A stunning set of four Aesthetic Movement side chairs, dating to circa 1880 and attributed to D.G. Fischel & Söhne. These elegant chairs exemplify the refined craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of the period, blending ebonized and gilt wood with intricate detailing and woven cane seats. The chairs showcase gracefully turned legs, a delicately pierced and gilded backrest, and subtle ornamental flourishes, all hallmarks of the Aesthetic Movement’s emphasis on beauty, decoration, and artisanal craftsmanship. The interplay of the rich black ebonized finish and the warm patina of the gilded accents creates a striking contrast, making these chairs not only functional but highly decorative. These exquisite chairs remain in good antique condition, with wear consistent with their age and historical character. Their cane seats have been beautifully preserved, offering both comfort and durability. Perfect for a formal dining setting, a stylish entryway, or an eclectic mix in a contemporary space, these chairs embody the timeless elegance of 19th-century design while seamlessly blending with modern interiors. Two chairs have minor damage to caning. Recaning available at $500 a peice. Two are in pefect vintage condition.
