The arm supports are adorned with deeply carved thistle and foliate motifs, showcasing the artisan’s devotion to detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front stretcher is a tour-de-force: an elaborate pierced carving of scrolling acanthus, floral rosettes, and tied ribbon motifs, all in solid white oak with a soft, bleached cerused patina that highlights every grain and chisel mark. Massive paw-like scrolled feet with acanthus cuffs ground the design, while turned baluster legs and H-stretchers provide architectural strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreshly reupholstered in a natural Belgian linen with aged brass nailhead trim, they are ready for immediate placement as statement dining captains, entry thrones, or fireside library chairs. The bleached oak finish is highly sought-after, aligning perfectly with current Alfonso Marina, and Dennis \u0026amp; Leen designer palettes, yet rooted in authentic 17th-century grandeur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-height\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHeight: 46 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-width\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWidth: 27 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-depth\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eDepth: 21 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-secondaryHeight\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eSeat Height: 20 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-sold-as\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-setSize\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eSet of 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eStyle:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-style\"\u003eSpanish Colonial\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eMaterials and Techniques:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-materials-and-techniques\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-technique\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eOak and Linen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003ePlace of Origin:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-place-of-origin\"\u003eSpain\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003ePeriod:\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-period\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"_1862016c _57a9be25\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/dining-room-chairs\/period\/early-20th-century\/\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-date-of-manufacture\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-dateOfManufacture\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eLate 19th Century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-title\"\u003eCondition:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-condition\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\" data-tn=\"pdp-spec-detail-conditionDetails\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Melissa Levinson Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51501831061810,"sku":"MLA1397","price":4800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/4321\/6690\/files\/f_51050212_1784358818934_bg_processed.jpg?v=1784740873","url":"https:\/\/melissalevinson.com\/products\/pair-of-exceptional-spanish-baroque-throne-armchairs-with-hand-carved-lion-heads","provider":"Melissa Levinson Antiques ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
