Chairs with gondola backs

The two gondola chairs are adorned with finely chiseled and gilded bronze sphinxes and rest on saber legs. The seats and backs are upholstered in beige striped fabric.

 The pedestal table 

The pedestal table, with Egyptian-inspired motifs , rests on a central pedestal and a tripod base. The base is surmounted by three blackened wooden columns, adorned with Corinthian capitals and topped by chiseled and gilded bronze sphinxes.

The exquisitely fine carving and state of preservation of this salon make it an exceptional set.
