This charming near-matched pair of early 19th century Italian walnut barrel-back chairs, affectionately dubbed “Nana and Poppa,” exemplifies the craftsmanship of Genoa’s fine furniture tradition. With subtly different proportions—“Nana” being slightly narrower by one inch—each chair is hand-carved and newly upholstered in rich Correggio silk fabric, enhancing their graceful curves and generous form.

Blending comfort with classic elegance, these antique Italian chairs offer a warm, inviting presence ideal for refined interiors. Their timeless barrel-back silhouette, artisan joinery, and textile sophistication make them perfect for collectors or designers seeking distinctive, heirloom-quality seating with character.
