Pair of 18th Century Painted Louis XV Seating Chairs

About the Item

A Louis XV chair refers to a style of chair that was popular during the reign of King Louis XV of France, which lasted from 1715 to 1774. This style of chair is characterized by its elegant and ornate design, featuring curved lines, intricate carvings, and often adorned with decorative motifs such as floral patterns, shells, and scrolls. Louis XV chairs typically have a graceful silhouette with cabriole legs, which are curved and terminate in ornamental feet. The backrest of these chairs is usually curved and may feature upholstered panels or intricate woodwork. The seat is often padded and upholstered in luxurious fabrics such as silk, velvet, or brocade. These chairs were crafted by highly skilled artisans during the 18th century and were often commissioned for use in aristocratic households and royal residences. Today, Louis XV chairs are prized as elegant and sophisticated pieces of furniture, sought after by collectors and interior designers for their timeless beauty and historical significance. They continue to be reproduced and adapted for modern interiors, maintaining their allure and charm.
