Pair of 19th Century French Provincial Louis XVI Style Back Porter's Chairs

About the Item

Add a dramatic statement to your space with this rare pair of 19th-century French Provincial hall chairs in the Louis XVI style. Made in France circa 1880, these chairs feature hand-carved walnut frames with elegant neoclassical details, including fluted legs, floral rosettes, and curved arms. The standout balloon-shaped dome backs, originally designed to offer warmth and privacy in drafty halls, are newly upholstered in a charming white and blue toile de Jouy fabric. The fabric is printed with whimsical 18th-century scenes of pastoral life, village architecture, and floating hot air balloons, creating a delightful contrast to the rich patina of the walnut wood. Perfect for an entryway, reading corner, or accent chairs in a traditional or eclectic interior. These chairs offer both sculptural beauty and classic French elegance!
