Silver Gilded Pagoda Chairs


Stephanie Jones, an extremely talented decorative artist and follower of Chinoiserie Chic, has rescued these wonderful vintage pagoda chairs. By gilding them in silver leaf, she has turned them into works of art. Don't you like the pagoda detailing at the tops of the chairs? I'd love to hear your ideas on fabrics to finish them. What would you use? I'm thinking of Schumacher's Imperial Trellis in Silver, or some vintage silver Fortuny, or perhaps Michael Devine's Fretwork, all shown below. If you are in the Memphis area, you can see the chairs in person at Market Central or view and purchase them on Etsy here. These would be a wonderful addition to any Chinoiserie lover's home.
