Pair 19th Century French Louis XVI Gilded Armchairs ~ Fauteuils

Price: $4,980

Pair 19th Century French Louis XVI Gilded Armchairs ~ Fauteuils are a truly timeless representation of the neoclassic form inspired by the ancient Greeks and Romans!  Carved from hand-select hardwood, each features an oval, contoured seat back and generous seat upholstered recently in a fine tapestry quality fabric.  The frames are works of art, with a bow of ribbon at the top of the seat over olive branches, with a bell flower motif appearing on the complex molded detail of the surrounding frame.  The seat back connects with the seat and the armrests with flowing lines carrying the molded detail and carved embellishment theme, extending out to the padded armrests supported by corbel-shaped uprights lavished with acanthus plumes, rosettes, and an intriguing intertwined Greek coin design.  Spiral ribbon carvings continue around the seat framework to connect the four tapered, fluted and carved leg supports.  Upholstered even on the back side in the same fabric, they are a great choice for placement anywhere in the room!
Circa 1880s
