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.
