Set of chairs

The centres of the high backrests and seats of the baroque chairs are made of woven rattan. The Cabriole-style front legs have been decorated with carved lions’ heads; the brace connecting front legs and the framework of the backrest are made up of exquisitely carved acanthus ornaments. The centres of the connecting brace sport the coat of arms of the Tallinn Brotherhood of Blackheads – the head of St. Mauritius with a red-white headband on a golden background. The chairs have been stained black and lacquered.
