Dating to circa 1885–1900, the pair retains its original frames and internal seat materials, while the restoration record makes clear what was renewed and what was intentionally preserved.

Carved oak frame in its aged finish, reupholstered in Jim Thompson 'Railay' Bronze
This antique Baroque Revival armchair holds a room the way architecture does, its carved oak reading as structure before ornament. The tall back rises to an arched crest, newly covered in Jim Thompson's bronze 'Railay' weave, and settles into an open show-wood frame of scrolled arms and turned legs, circa 1890–1910. Throughout, the frame keeps its existing aged finish: reupholstered, never refinished.
