Pair of 17th Century French Louis XIV Period Armchairs in Circassian Walnut

About the Item

A stately pair of Louis XIV armchairs, crafted in Provence circa 1670, showcasing the refined grandeur of the French Baroque era. Made from richly patinated Circassian walnut, these chairs exude an exceptional depth of color and old-world character! Each chair features an arched backrest and gracefully carved scrolling arms, supported by turned uprights and cross stretchers. The proportions are generous and architectural, with squared legs terminating in block feet and shaped joinery that speaks to the artisan craftsmanship of the late 17th century. Recently reupholstered in a clean, neutral linen to complement the warmth of the walnut frame. The chairs are structurally sound and comfortable, offering an ideal blend of historic elegance and modern usability. These armchairs would make a distinguished statement in a study, sitting room, or flanking a fireplace.
