Pair of Napoleon III Period Crimson Velvet Bergere Chairs with wheels

About the Item

This exquisite pair of Napoléon III period bergère armchairs epitomizes the elegance and craftsmanship of 19th-century French design. Dating from the late 19th century, these chairs reflect the distinctive features of the Napoléon III style, characterized by curved lines, deep seats, and plush upholstery, combining comfort with sophisticated aesthetics. The rich red velvet upholstery enhances their luxurious appeal, lending a warm and opulent touch to any space. However, as is expected with antique pieces of this age, the fabric shows visible signs of wear, adding to their authentic charm. The gracefully sloping arms and curved backrests provide excellent support, making these armchairs both stylish and very comfortable. Their turned beech wood legs, fitted with brass casters, are typical of the period and allow for easy movement. The wood has developed a beautiful aged patina, enhancing their antique appeal. These Napoléon III bergères would be a magnificent addition to any refined interior, whether placed in a living room, study, or library. Their slightly worn upholstery only adds to their historical character, making them a perfect choice for collectors and enthusiasts of authentic French antique furniture.
