More About This Item
Silver painted wood dining chairs are not common. A complete set of six silver painted Regency dining chairs in the André Originals style "” with the grooved perimeter detail, the black-base silver floral upholstery, and the seat back showing the upholstery from both sides "” is genuinely rare. This is a set of chairs that makes a dining room.

The silver painted frame with grooves around the perimeter gives these chairs an architectural precision: each groove catches light and creates a subtle shadow line that gives the frame visual depth without additional ornament. The upholstery "” a black base with silver floral motif "” is the other design decision that makes the chairs work: it continues the silver-and-black color story from the frame into the fabric, creating a completely coherent aesthetic statement. The fact that the seat back shows the upholstery from both sides means these chairs look as finished from across the room as they do from the dining table side.

Six of these around a table "” especially a table in a dark lacquer, a smoked glass, or a high-gloss finish "” creates a dining room that people will remember. These are occasion chairs, in the best possible sense.

Design Style
Hollywood Regency / Regency "” the silver-painted Regency chair is one of the design canon's most theatrical dining room elements, with precedents in actual Regency-era English furniture and a sustained life through every American decorative revival from the 1930s to the present. André Originals brought this vocabulary to a production format that made these chairs accessible to American homes that wanted Regency drama without commissioning custom furniture.

In current interiors, silver and black dining chairs are actively sought for maximalist, Hollywood Regency, and glamour-inflected dining rooms. A complete set of six in this condition is the kind of find that makes the whole room possible.
