This elegant pair of side chairs exemplifies the refined Regency Revival style favored by discriminating Washington, D.C. collectors and interior designers during the mid-20th century. Retailed by Corrados' Inc., the distinguished Connecticut Avenue furniture establishment, these chairs demonstrate the quality and taste associated with that venerable firm. The chairs feature solid mahogany frames with tall, gracefully curved backs terminating in turned finials at the stiles. The curved back splat frames an upholstered panel, while the generous serpentine-front seats provide comfortable seating. Both the inset back panel and seat are upholstered in a vibrant emerald green silk with a subtle diamond lattice pattern, the back panel featuring elegant button-tufting. The square tapered front legs and gently curved rear legs follow Regency precedents, while the overall proportions suggest the restrained sophistication of the style. The mahogany displays a rich, dark finish with the lustrous patina of quality furniture. Original Corrados' label present. This style of chair was popular for use in formal dining rooms, living rooms, or as accent seating. Shows minor wear consistent with age. Dimensions: each approximately 38" H x 20" W x 19" D; seat height 18". Bid per piece, final bid x 2
