About the Item

A timeless pair of gold gilt fauteuils made in France during the Louis XV period, reflecting the romantic opulence of the era and tempered by the patina developed over three centuries. These armchairs have a carved frame incorporating foliate and acanthus motifs that is finished in wonderfully preserved, lustrous gold gilt. Sinuous lines, hallmarks of the classic Louis XV design, are incorporated into the chair’s rails, with lovely cabriole legs emerging from them and terminating in escargot feet. Note we have completely taken this pair of chairs down the frame. We have tightened and leveled the frames before building the cushions back using the original horsehair stuffing, now covered in a simple muslin, awaiting new fabric of your choice. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition. Sold as a pair. Arm height: 26” Seat Height: 20 ½”
