Four Chairs in Napoleon III Style

19th century

FOUR CHAIRS IN NAPOLEON III STYLE (French, 19th century), upholstered in silk damask, with low curved backs descending to form roll-over armrests and stuff-over seats. Each stands on four short turned legs with brass casters and has gold tasseled fringe along the seat rail. One of the armchairs is slightly larger than the other three, and three of the four have buttoned backs.
