Gold French Chairs


I attended my first auction with Nancy and we both spotted these petite, antique chairs right when we walked in.  We knew that we had to have them, but we were sure that everyone else in the place wanted them too.  It turned out that only one other woman bid on them and we outbid her!


I cannot believe we own these amazing, French antique chairs!  Look at the darling swags the caning, and the gold leafing.  


The seats are done in tufted satin. These must be the most adorable chairs I have ever seen!


If I had room at my house, I would keep them.  They are currently for sale at Loot and I hope they find a loving home!

Okay, maybe this will work this time! Blogger is being very difficult this evening....ANYwho, I would have tried to outbid you for these chairs! They're fabulous. SO glad you won! Hope they were a Club G.W.-like find (as in made your heart go pitter-patter!)
