About the Item

This is an ultra-rare opportunity to acquire what is, unequivocally, the best of the best, it being a most spectacular, immaculate, beautifully-presented identical pair of “Versailles” Armchairs from the renown French furniture maker, Gilles Nouailhac. Previously commissioned by a private client in an impossibly-elegant and refined Pale-Stone woollen-fabric option, and with Pale-Oak hand-carved legs and framework. As you will no doubt be aware by your interest in this listing, Gilles Nouailhac are the epitome of classic French furniture design, are of peerless quality, and exhibit detailing and execution of an unrivalled standard. In a world of temporary pleasures, Gilles Nouailhac craftsmen create beautiful furniture built to last a lifetime, with there being no finer, or more beautifully appointed, example of their work than this. This suite of armchairs is in superb, impeccably-maintained condition, having rarely been employed since their costly acquisition, and are entirely free from fault, flaw or damage. Aside for one-or-two light, superficial marks to the fabric (as you might expect with a woollen-cloth of this colour and nature) and some light marks and dings to the already deliberately-distressed legs and framework, they are nothing short of sublime, immaculate and wholly-divine. Please view the images provided closely to confirm their exceptional condition and appearance. A more robust, elegant and timeless suite of armchairs is almost impossible to imagine. Each armchairs dimensions are H-86cm, W-76cm and D-78cm, and the breathtaking seating position this iconic French-design creates is enhanced by the use of sumptuously comfortable, generously-upholstered fixed-back and feather-filled seat-cushioning, which leaves you powerless to resist its charms. Not only does each chair possess an aesthetic to die for, but is so comfortable too! Costing close to £8000 when new, they represent spectacular value for money, and we have no doubt they will serve and delight their new owner for many years to come. Delivery of this suite to most UK mainland addresses will cost £180, and can be organised on behalf of the winning bidder upon request using one of our hand-picked panel of specialist, fully-insured independent furniture couriers. Should i be able to help you further, feel free to call or message me. For important payment, shipping, returns, cleaning and contact information, please read below. Warm regards, Daniel.
