About the Item
Exquisite Pair of Louis XIV-Style Armchairs - Late 19th Century, Walnut
This magnificent pair of Louis XIV-style armchairs from the late 19th century exemplifies the grandeur and craftsmanship of the period. Carved from solid walnut, these imposing fauteuils boast an intricate and deeply sculpted apron, richly adorned with scrolling foliage and symmetrical floral motifs, a hallmark of the opulent Baroque aesthetic.
The robust, turned legs are connected by carved stretchers, providing both stability and a decorative element reminiscent of the grandeur found in 17th-century French court furniture. The arms, elegantly curved, feature volute-shaped supports with exquisite hand-carved floral detailing, further emphasizing their regal presence.
The high, rectangular backrests and generously proportioned seats have been recently upholstered in a sophisticated sage green fabric with a subtle geometric pattern, neatly finished with nailhead trim along the edges, adding refinement to their stately silhouette. The walnut frames exhibit a rich, warm patina, a testament to their age and quality.
These impressive chairs are not only a statement of historical craftsmanship but also a striking addition to any distinguished interior, be it a formal salon, library, or collector's space. A perfect blend of comfort and prestige, they encapsulate the enduring elegance of Louis XIV's influence on furniture design.
For collectors and admirers of fine antiques, this pair presents an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of French-inspired grandeur.

Pair of 19th Century Brazilian Empire Armchairs in Carved Tropical Hardwood
A striking and authentic pair of Brazilian armchairs from the second half of the 19th century, crafted in richly grained tropical hardwood—most likely jacarandá or another noble native species. Embodying the graceful elegance of the Brazilian Empire period, these pieces combine classical European influence with regional craftsmanship, resulting in a form that is both sculptural and historically evocative.
Each chair presents beautifully shaped lines, with gently curved legs and arm supports, and a caned seat restored using traditional methods. The backrests are adorned with finely hand-carved floral and shell motifs, emblematic of the Luso-Brazilian decorative language of the time. The lower splats echo this detail in harmonious proportion, adding refinement and rhythm to the composition.
The surface retains a charming, timeworn patina, enriched by subtle wear and age that speak to the authenticity and dignity of these pieces. Their scale and presence make them ideal for use as statement accent chairs in living rooms, salons, libraries, or conservatories.
Rare to find in matched pairs, these armchairs would suit both collectors of colonial and imperial Latin American furniture...
