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...

Mahogany is probably one of the largest ‘families’ of hardwood, having many different varieties within its own species. Mahogany has been used for centuries in ship building, house building, furniture making etc and is the core structure of just about every 19th century vanity box, dressing case or jewelry box. It became more of a Victorian trend to dress mahogany with these decorative veneers, such as burr walnut and coromandel, so that the actual mahogany was almost hidden from view. Mahogany itself is a rich reddish brown wood that can range from being plain in appearance to something that is so vibrant, figured and almost three dimensional in effect. Although mahogany was most often used in its solid form, it also provided some beautifully figured varieties of veneer like ‘flame’ mahogany and ‘fiddleback’ mahogany (named after its preferred use in the manufacture of fine musical instruments). Cuban mahogany was so sought after, that by the late 1850s, this particular variety became all but extinct. Scottish leather These chairs are upholstered in top quality Scottish cow...

These armchairs made of tinted wood are to be linked to another pair of armchairs executed by Gabriel Viardot, and now exhibited at the Decorative Arts Museum in Paris (Inv. 2006.105.1.2). They present a similar asymmetric design and an equal carving quality including the winding dragon on the back. (see picture attached) Gabriel Viardot career began as a wood carver and he produced small furniture, sculpturally carved with naturalistic motifs and animals. In the 1855 Exposition Universelle in Paris, his finely sculpted objects were well received. However, with the increasing importation of similarly produced Swiss and German articles, he found less opportunity for these and decided to innovate. G. Viardot succeeded to his father’s business in 1861 installed rue Rambuteau in Paris, circa 1870 he turned to the idea of producing “Meubles genre Chinois et Japonais”. The taste in Europe for exotic furniture...
