About the Item

This pair of French chairs offers a classic example of late 19th-century, Louis XV-style open-arm chairs, often referred to as fauteuils. They are defined by their elegant Rococo curves, hand-carved floral details, and characteristic cabriole legs. Hand-carved floral motifs adorn the "crown" (top of the backrest), as well as the seat rail, arms and legs. The signature S-shaped cabriole legs end in scroll feet, a hallmark of the Louis XV aesthetic. These frames were crafted either from walnut or beechwood and then painted beige with green trim showing a "distressed" look that highlights the intricate carvings. Padded scrolling arms and "whip-shaped" supports join the seat rails in a graceful curve when viewed from the sides. While these chairs are upholstered in a floral damask with a nail head trim, one can imagine them recovered traditionally with Aubusson tapestry, or in updated neutral fabrics for a fresh take on this timeless style. Signature/Maker’s mark: Nonexistent.
