Pair of Early 19th Century French Louis XVI Revival ‘Voyeuse’ Chairs

About the Item

Pair of Early 19th Century French Louis XVI Revival ‘Voyeuse’ Chairs An elegant pair of Voyeuse chairs, French, early 19th century, in the Louis XVI Revival style. These charming chairs, designed as spectator pieces, feature high, rounded backs and gracefully carved wood frames, typical of the period. The frames have been later repainted in a soft ivory tone, and the upholstery has been updated with a floral-patterned damask fabric in shades of pink and white, adding a more contemporary touch. Key Features: Period: Early 19th Century, circa 1800 Style: Louis XVI Revival, French Voyeuse Chairs Material: Carved wood frame, later painted in an ivory tone Upholstery: Updated floral damask fabric in pink and white Dimensions: Approx. 44 cm (width) x 56 cm (depth) x 88 cm (height) Condition: Good vintage condition. The paintwork and upholstery are later additions and show minor wear consistent with age. The wooden frames display some chips and signs of the repainting process. The upholstery is in good condition with light wear, and the upper armrest has a slight wobble, though the chairs remain stable. Description: This pair of Voyeuse chairs offers a fine example of early 19th-century French design, with the charm of Louis XVI Revival styling. Despite later updates to the paint and upholstery, they retain their historical elegance and would make a striking addition to any collection or stylish interior. Their graceful lines and comfortable proportions make them suitable for a variety of settings.
