Embroidered Chair Backs

Custom embroidered chair backs are unique details that set these dining room chairs apart.

As if the panoramic de Gournay wallpaper wasn’t enough to raise the bar in this elegant dining room, designer Ruthie Chapman Sommers went for it all.  Custom two-tone green upholstered dining chairs circle a pedestal table with flared base. Each chair is upholstered with light green fabric which bends well with the dark wood finish. In contrast, the embroidered chair backs are embellished with intricate medallions. Metal studs edge the chair seats with a graceful criss cross on the lower backs.

This is an especially elegant and custom way to upholster chairs in a dining room where the backs and often most visible as the chairs are used and viewed. An antique chandelier and mirror amplify the glamour.

    That treatment of the chairs should really get an award because it’s oriented to the reality that mostly they will be seen from the back! Rarely are dining chairs treated in a way that uses the backs decoratively. The way the nail heads are worked along the seat is also refined and lovely. This is definitely an improvement on what would otherwise be totally conventional d.r. chairs.
