This pair of French Louis XVI open arm chairs (fauteuils) features beautifully carved walnut and dates back to the 19th century. The hand carving is truly fantastic, with delicate details found in the block marguerites, acanthus leaves and pattern work on the arms, and the design work on the chair’s back especially. The pair features fluted legs and is upholstered in the original petit-point.

Pair of French 19th Century Louis XVI Gilt Wood Armchairs
Item Number: 0034
This pair of classic Louis XVI armchairs feature beautiful carved gilt wood, and date back to the mid 19th century. The chairs sport a square back with carved marguerites at the top of each tapered and fluted leg. Each chair is upholstered in a beautiful Aubusson tapestry, one featuring a male figure on back, the other a female figure. The seats offer different details as well; one showing an eagle and a ram, the other, a grazing deer rests on its seat. The details continue in the hand carved beading and patternwork throughout, resulting in a glimmering, stately pair of chairs poised to bring a lovely French element to any home.
