What makes these chairs artisan-crafted?
Each chair is hand-carved and hand-painted by Peruvian artisans using traditional techniques passed through generations. The skilled craftspeople create decorative carvings and apply finishes individually, ensuring each piece is unique and celebrates authentic woodworking heritage rather than mass production.
Are custom finishes available?
Yes. While chairs are shown in a classic finish, custom finishes are available upon request to coordinate with existing dining tables and decor. Contact Casa Bella Decor to discuss custom color options that maintain the authentic Peruvian craftsmanship.
What type of leather is used?
The seats feature genuine leather upholstery that provides natural material durability and comfort. Real leather develops beautiful patina over time, becoming more attractive with use while offering breathable, comfortable seating for extended dining and entertaining.
What is nailhead trim?
Nailhead trim consists of decorative metal tacks arranged along upholstery edges, both securing the leather and adding traditional detailing. This technique references historical furniture-making practices valued in Mediterranean, Spanish colonial, and Old World design aesthetics.
Will each chair look exactly the same?
No. Because chairs are hand-carved and hand-painted, each piece features unique variations in carving depth, finish application, and wood grain. This one-of-a-kind nature celebrates artisan craftsmanship and ensures your chairs are truly individual works of art rather than identical factory pieces.
What styles do these chairs coordinate with?
The Casa Bonita chairs work beautifully in Mediterranean, Spanish Hacienda, French Country, Ranch, and Old World interiors. The authentic Peruvian craftsmanship, genuine materials, and traditional design details complement spaces valuing artisan quality, natural materials, and globally inspired aesthetics.
