About the Item

This handsome set of four petite Napoleon III French oak chairs feature embossed leather backs and seats framed in a myriad of brass tacks. The worn leather adds to the charm of this sturdy and very detailed set. The leather pattern is of a basket of flowers in a lattice work background. Note the fluted turned legs with carved florets at the front corners of the seats as well as the carving framing the backs. "The Second Empire style, which lasted from 1848-1880, is also known as the Napoleon III Style. Typified by its eclectic characteristics in architecture and decorative arts, it flourished under the reign of Napoleon III (1808-1873). It left a substantial on both, Europe and the United States."
