Well, all that I am prepared to say is that they would have had to pay more for a less interesting armchair at IKEA.... so you get an idea. They were an incredible bargain and they are in perfect condition. Solid wood, no "tralli" marks... I cannot believe we got them! We have been after a pair of Savonarola chairs for years and there was always something wrong with the ones we found.... generally the price. I saw a similar pair sold through Internet for over US$ 3,000!!!! and I am not talking about antique ones.... just vintage, like ours.
Photos coming soon. I have to get myself organised. You will also be able to see the tassles I bought in Florence.
