About the Item

Dimensions - H: 33 1/4 in W: 23 1/4 in D: 23 1/2 in SH: 17 An elegant French Louis XVI style carved and paint-decorated armchair, beautifully finished in a naturally distressed dark green paint that verges on black, giving the piece a sophisticated and timeworn patina. The chair embodies the refined neoclassical aesthetic of the Louis XVI period, with its graceful proportions, crisp carving, and restrained ornamentation that balances decorative detailing with timeless elegance. The frame is richly hand-carved with classical motifs, including fluted legs, rosettes, and gently scrolled arms, hallmarks of the Louis XVI style. The distressed painted finish enhances the sculptural quality of the carving, with subtle variations in tone and wear that create an authentic sense of age and character. The dark green hue, nearly black in appearance, lends the chair a dramatic presence while still maintaining a neutral versatility, making it easy to integrate into both traditional and contemporary interiors. Comfortable yet refined, the chair is upholstered with a well-padded seat and backrest, offering both support and style. The generous armrests and sturdy construction make it a practical as well as a decorative piece—ideal for use as an accent chair in a living room, library, bedroom, or entryway. Its versatile scale and timeless design also make it suitable for pairing with desks or dressing tables. This armchair is an excellent representation of the 18th-century French neoclassical revival style, reinterpreted with a distressed painted finish that celebrates the beauty of age and patina. Whether placed as a standalone statement or incorporated into a larger seating arrangement, it brings a sense of historic charm, craftsmanship, and sophistication to any interior. The piece is in good vintage condition with the exception of some light surface scratches, Minor finish loss and normal age related wear. As to be expected with items of age and use. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out and ask! - D&P Luxuries
