Pair of Spanish Colonial Carved Chairs

A carved shell crest rises between two turned finials on each of these chairs, above a pair of curved slats that give the pair a tall, formal line. The dark, walnut-toned frames carry the turned legs and joined stretchers of Spanish Colonial seating, and the seats have been newly upholstered in a warm golden fabric. Chairs in this style were made across Spain and its colonies. Each chair is 22 inches wide, 23 inches deep and 51 inches tall, with a seat height of 21 inches. Set the pair on either side of a console, at the ends of a long table or in a hall, where the carved crests can be seen from across the room. The upholstered seats make them easy to use every day, and the dark wood keeps a pale room grounded.

Can this pair of Spanish Colonial chairs be used at a dining table? Yes, at a table with enough clearance. The 21-inch seat height is higher than a typical dining chair, so they suit a taller table or work as head-of-table and console chairs. 2. Are the two chairs a matched pair? Yes, they share the same size, form and upholstery. As with any antiques, small differences in age and finish are normal and part of their character.
