Dramatic Poly Chromed Set of Four Italian Interlaced Back Splat Side Chairs with original gilt detailing the frame, newly upholstered with silk fabric. H:36" W:20" D:15" Seat H: 18" Polychrome is one of the terms used to describe the use of multiple colors in one entity. A very early example of polychrome decoration was found in the Parthenon atop the Acropolis of Athens. At the time the English Victorians encountered the classical ruins the paint had completely weathered off, and so the Victorian's impression was that classical beauty was expressed only through shape and composition, lacking in robust colors. It was this impression that informed the classical revival movements. As true in the architecture of our early history is the revival and use of Polychrome paint on surfaces of the Furniture and Decorative Arts throughout history. The set of Four Polychromed Side chairs are decorative and upholstered in an elegant fabric to compliment the back splats and chair frame.
