Pair of Edwardian Satinwood Cane Chairs

This handsome pair of English satinwood cane chairs is the epitome of the Edwardian style. The lightness of the satinwood and delicate caned back lends an airiness to the design that gained favor during this time, in opposition to the heavier, darker wood furnishings of the Victorian period. Beautiful hand-painted floral and classical enhance these chairs with exceptional artistry. Such elegant seating would have been seen in a fashionable 19th- or 20th-century parlor, which was the heart of a household’s social life and a symbol of hospitality, refinement and social standing.

Early 20th century
