Ensemble de 4 chaises à haut dossier en bois noir avec pieds en laiton, années 1980

High back dining table chairs have a very long history. In fact, it dates back to the time when knights on horseback came home to their castle to feast on good food and drink. A chair with a high backrest not only protects you against everything that can come at you from behind, it also gives you extra status from the point of view of your table companion, after all, the king often deliberately sits on a throne to enforce a bit of status. In the 1980s, furniture designers from all over the world brought the high back chair back into furniture design. Often in post-modern styling in black wood, with backs that were small but high. This set of 4 chairs is high-quality manufactured and finished in detail. Take a look at the beautiful shaped backrest and the golden finish on the feet. Rare because we don't come across them very often in this version. We could trace this back to a italian top brand furniture manufacturer based on build quality. The set is in very good condition consistent with age and use. Some minor marks on the seating.
