These are antique 19th-century American Empire flame mahogany parlor/vanity/dining chairs. The chairs feature a distinctive flame mahogany veneer, characterized by its wavy, "flame-like" grain pattern, which was popular during the American Empire period (early 19th century). The design includes a shaped crest rail and a solid, shaped splat back. The seats are upholstered, one in a dark green velvet and the other in a patterned fabric. The legs are slightly curved, typical of the period's furniture design. These chairs could serve as accent pieces in a living room or bedroom, or as dining chairs in a formal setting.  Identifying marks, such as manufacturer's insignias, can help determine the production date and origin of antique chairs. Construction techniques like hand-cut dovetail joints or mortise and tenon joints are indicators of older, well-made furniture.
