This carving continues on the graceful down-swept arms ending with acanthus leaves and Greek key. The base of the arm supports and back stiles have carved stop-fluting. The front seat rails and bowed sides are similarly decorated with garlands and laurel leaves resting on delicate leaf-carved and fluted tapering legs. These chairs retain the original water gilded and painted surfaces. Sweden circa 1790. Stamped “PONNET”.
