Painted and Gilt Neoclassical Armchair

The design of this chair is quite good, especially the gold grapes on both arms and the roses on the back, which our painter does by hand on every chair.

• Wine red frame with gold on the carved parts.
• Roses painted by hand on the oval back, so each chair comes out different.
• Carved gold grape clusters on both arms.
• Soft cream striped seat with padding.
• Handmade in our Jodhpur workshop.

The Wine Red And Gold Colour

If your drawing room has a brown sofa and a grey carpet, this chair will bring colour into it and you will not have to paint any wall for that. It suits a plain room best, because nothing else in the room is competing with the red. The red is dark, close to the colour of old wine and the gold has been put only on the carving, so in the evening when the lamp is on, the grapes and the rosettes shine and the rest of the chair stays deep red.

Sitting In This Chair

People do sit in it for long. The seat has padding under the striped cloth, the arms come at the height where your elbows can rest without lifting your shoulders and the back keeps you upright. A guest can sit in it for 2 cups of chai and not start shifting around.

Places In The House For It

• In the corner of the drawing room, beside a side table and a lamp.
• At the head of the dining table, with plain chairs down the sides.
• In the bedroom, in front of the dressing table.
• 2 of them on both sides of the main door or a console table.

Ordering 2 Chairs Together

A lot of our customers take 2 when the room has the space and they keep them on both sides of a door or a console, the way chairs were kept in old havelis and in hotel lobbies. If you want 2, order both at 1 time, so the red and the gold on them are mixed in the same batch and come out matching. A single chair also looks good as the only coloured piece in a room.

The Hand Carving And Painting

Every part of this chair is done by hand in our workshop. The grapes are carved with a chisel, the gold is put on with a small brush only where there is carving and the roses are painted freehand without being drawn first. For that reason 1 chair takes our workshop much longer than a factory takes to make a chair and the roses on yours get painted only 1 time. That is why it costs more than a chair from a furniture shop.
