Pair of ceremonial armchairs in carved and gilded wood

About the Item

Pair of ceremonial armchairs in carved and gilded wood. Fluted feet ending in lion's paws, richly carved crosspieces. Late 18th Century. This magnificent pair of armchairs with perfect proportions for ceremonial armchairs is in the purest Louis XVI style (straight lines, fluted legs) but the detail of the lion's paw feet indicates a slight shift towards the Empire of Napoleon and his taste for the Ancient times. This combination of two important styles in the history of French arts makes this pair a rare piece of furniture.
