Evergreen House is having their annual garden party this week and as part of the event, they hold an auction. Amongst the items to be auction this year are two spectacular chairs from Maison Jansen.
Distressed painted frames showcase elegantly eccentric hand-painted velvet upholstery, the patterning of which conveys a lush summer garden’s offerings.

Of course the style designation in the catalog is a typo, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they are great chairs. The proportions are so elegant and comfortable. I would place them in a location without frequent use so I could keep the original upholstery, but I would have them fitted with tie-on slipcovers, too.
