[QUOTE="Hallingdalen, post: 13006050, member: 93477"]They are an unusual model, with sabre legs both front and back and a round seat. The backrest is somewhat puzzling, as its form leans more towards Biedermeier, while the rest of the construction is pure Empire. The backrests may have been altered later in the 19th century by a professional cabinetmaker. Another possibility is that they were originally made as small, lightweight seats intended for larger reception or banqueting rooms.
