Pair of Directoire Style Carved Armchairs Attributed to Theodore Alexander

About the Item

Dimensions - H: 27 3/4 in W: 24 in D: 23 1/2 in SH: 19 1/4 in This striking pair of Directoire style carved armchairs, attributed to the renowned Theodore Alexander, exemplifies the refinement and symmetry of late 18th-century French neoclassical design. Though unsigned, the chairs are clearly of exceptional quality, showcasing the expert craftsmanship, detailed carving, and luxurious finishes that are hallmarks of the Theodore Alexander atelier. The chairs feature elegantly sculpted hardwood frames with classical lines and proportions, including tapered fluted legs, gently scrolled arms, and rectangular carved backs—all details characteristic of authentic Directoire period furniture. The restrained ornamentation and balanced silhouette reflect the transition between the opulence of Louis XVI and the emerging order and clarity of the Empire style. Each armchair is generously upholstered in a neutral, high-end fabric that complements the warmth of the wood finish, offering both timeless aesthetic appeal and daily comfort. These chairs are not only visually sophisticated but also structurally sound and suitable for regular use in a formal sitting room, study, or elegant entryway. While not signed, the craftsmanship and materials align closely with Theodore Alexander’s standard of excellence, making these chairs a valuable addition for collectors or interior designers seeking understated luxury and classic French style. The pair is in good vintage condition with the exception of some light surface scratches, Minor finish loss and normal age related wear. As to be expected with items of age and use. Upholstery seems to be in good condition. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out and ask! - D&P Luxuries
