About the Item

A PAIR OF LOUIS XVI GILTWOOD SEATS,BY CLAUDE CHEVIGNY, CIRCA 1775-80. A PAIR OF LOUIS XVI GILTWOOD SEATS,BY CLAUDE CHEVIGNY, CIRCA 1775-80. Both covered in original Beauvais tapestry covers retaining strong original colouring and woven with flowering shrubs on a reddish ground, each with oval back, the padded armrests on baluster supports carved to match and ending with acanthus leaves the bow-fronted seat-rail carved to match, on turned tapering stop-fluted legs The chairs - . (102 cm.) high; (75 cm.) wide; (62 cm.) deep Claude Chevigny, Court craftsman Claude Chevigny, received master in the last years of the reign of Louis XV, distinguished himself in the creation of neoclassical models, according to the new Greek taste, a taste that characterized its illustrious clientele. Among these let us remember the Duc de Choiseul for his castle de Chanteloup, the Montmorency family for their Château de Modave in Belgium or even the Marquis de Paulmy. Chevigny notably created an imposing neoclassical salon for the Choiseul-Praslin family, famous in its time for its avant-garde taste and the neoclassical aesthetics that prevailed in its salons. It is very likely that our present lot was part of a much larger set including sofas and chairs.
