Description
A captivating pair of vintage Hollywood Regency chairs, attributed to the style of Rose Tarlow and likely dating to the 1950s. These sculptural side chairs exude quiet opulence, combining classical curves with timeless patina and charm.
Each chair features a graceful pretzel or ribbon back design crowned with a shell motif, all rendered in solid wood and finished in hand-applied gold leaf with warm red undertones. The gilt finish has naturally worn in areas, revealing traces of the wood beneath and lending a rich, aged character that collectors adore.
The cabriole legs and curved stretcher bars nod to French Rococo influences, while the intertwined backrest adds a sense of fluidity and movement"”hallmarks of Tarlow's inspired aesthetic.
The seats are upholstered in a soft, light pink diamond-patterned fabric that complements the warm gold tones of the frame. Cushions are attached and finished with corded edges for added refinement.
