About the Item

This outstanding pair of French Louis XV armchairs, dating from the 19th century, represents the epitome of Rococo luxury and craftsmanship. Each fauteuil is richly gilded with hand-carved details, highlighting the exquisite asymmetrical scrolls, floral motifs, and cabriole legs that define the Louis XV style. The frames feature a warm, time-softened gilding that enhances their antique character, making them both elegant and authentic. The chairs retain their original damask upholstery in a muted rose-salmon hue, decorated with intricate floral patterns. The padded backs, arms, and generously proportioned seats ensure both comfort and sophistication. The scrolling arms with upholstered rests and the dramatic crests carved with rocaille flourishes reflect the refined artistry of 19th-century French furniture makers. Perfect as statement accent chairs, formal salon seating, or luxurious additions to a period-inspired interior, these armchairs embody the grandeur of the French aristocratic tradition. Their gilded presence works beautifully in both traditional and eclectic spaces, where they can serve as decorative focal points. Collectors, interior designers, and connoisseurs will appreciate the balance of historical authenticity, rich gilded surfaces, and enduring elegance. This pair of 19th-century Louis XV gilt armchairs offers not just seating, but a tangible link to the artistry and opulence of French decorative history. Dimensions: 44.75 inches high x 27.25 inches wide x 28.75 inches deep. Seat height 18 inches.
