French pair of Louis XVI period medallion cabriolet armchairs - 18th - France

About the Item

Magnificent pair of Louis XVI period cabriolet armchairs with medallion backs. Machined wood, carved with flowers and scrolls. Flushed legs. Very elegantly upholstered, the seats are comfortable. The seats have been redone and reupholstered in a beautiful silky gold fabric. This pair of armchairs is very elegant and decorative in any room. France - 18th century The Louis XVI style was born in France and was exported throughout Europe and then the whole world. The antique and classic style greatly influenced Louis XVI style furniture and was one of its themes. The attraction for classicism is felt in the design of the furniture. The proportions and volumes are balanced, the elegance is sober and refined; The Petit Trianon, in the park of the Palace of Versailles, offered by King Louis XVI to the Queen Marie-Antoinette, is a good example of the Louis XVI style: its inspiration comes from Greek antiquity, its lines are clearly straight, but for all that, a certain lightness emanates from it. Louis XVI leaves numerous marks of his passage and his investment in the place at Versailles. Louis XVI period furniture is extremely elegant, geometric and of high quality.
