Featured Ok - What style is this?

It has been a couple of years since I catalogued furniture and this near pair has me stumped. I originally thought oh, French bergeres but then they started looking English to me! I complete forget what the term is for the reeded downswept legs on these. Also, there is carved drapery/tassel motif and I can't remember if the apron plaque is carved with rinceau or something else. These appear to be mahogany with traces of parcel gilt . Thank you for looking!

 

Wondering if they could be Napoleon style? They have reversible cushion and backside of chair covered in Napoleon bee fabric.

 

Its a mishmash of several styles really. Id guess 1920s-40s. They are lovely.

 

So am I correct thinking those reeded legs are sabre?

 

Not really. More like faux Regency.Hopefully some of our furniture people will comment.

 

Formal living room furniture is all I've got. Too old to have spent their lives in those nasty plastic slip-covers, but no one sat in these much.

 

I would think the (very well done) upholstery is later given it is the same for both chairs and the chairs are not a true pair.

No, not identical, but a pretty NICE match!!

Yes when I catalogued them, I stated 'near pair'. There is a true term for these type of legs. I hate that I cant remember!

 

I would think Edwardian channel back chairs ca 1910-20. The front legs are a kind of stylized reeded neo-cabriole form, at least from what I can see. Agree that the very handsome upholstery is later.
A beautiful pair!

 

Thank you! The estate has lots of wonderful Edwardian and Sheraton furniture - some from Kaplan Furniture Company. The Art glass and porcelain though is such eye candy! We just uploaded session 1. I doubt I will be able to get session 2 finished for another month.
