Good Day

Thank you.

Thank you.

 

A more sympathetic upholstery would showcase them better. Here's something similar (but grander) from Sotheby's Home with a helpful description .

not very trustworthy link to people that abuse the Sotheby's name to sell obviously overpriced copies.
and "Dutch" ? get a life.

 

Thank you so much for pointing that out. I did see the Sotheby's name and assumed...

It was originally an independent company called Viyet, but they were bought by Sotheby's. So there is a genuine connection with Sotheby's.
Sotheby's are now much more than just an auction house.
If you look at the Sotheby's website, you will see Sotheby's Home in the bar at the top of the page:

Dutch Empire followed French Empire very closely btw. Dutch-made Empire period furniture is often indistinguishable from French Empire furniture. The fact that the chair in the link looks slightly off for French Empire, means it could have been made outside France, possibly in a country under French rule, like the Netherlands (old Netherlands, including Belgium and Luxemburg).

 

Ah... Sotheby's Light then.
