For sale:
A beautiful complete antique salon set consisting of 4 armchairs. The set has been in our family for over 70 years and was purchased at the time on Roldestraat in Assen. Now that Grandma is moving to a care home, the chairs are looking for a new enthusiast who will give them the attention they deserve.
The set consists of:
• 2 armchairs with fully upholstered armrests
• 2 armchairs with open wooden armrests and ornate wood carving
This combination of open and closed armrests is common in classic salon suites from the interwar period. It is possibly an older set that was purchased second-hand at the time. Based on stylistic features, it is suspected that the armchairs may date from approximately 1920–1935.
The chairs were originally upholstered in green and were professionally reupholstered about 20 years ago in a luxurious old-rose velvet fabric. High-quality work was delivered; the reupholstering cost approximately €4,000 for the complete set at the time. Details:
• Beautifully crafted wooden frame with rich ornamentation and a lovely patina
• Traditional springs present
• Heavy, solidly built armchairs
• Professional reupholstering
• For sale only as a complete set
Condition:
• Upholstery is in good condition, no tears
• Slight discoloration over the years due to exposure to light
• 2 of the 4 armchairs could use some attention to the springs
• Woodwork is in beautiful vintage condition befitting its age
Exact dimensions will follow tomorrow (Saturday).
Additional photos of the complete set will follow tomorrow. Any brand, if visible, will also be added tomorrow (this may affect the current price).
