Set of Four 19th Century Napoleon III Period Louis XIV Style Side Chairs
About the Item
Set of Four 19th Century Napoleon III Period Louis XIV Style Side Chairs is a superlative example of the revival of timeless French style and flair that occurred during the reign of France's last monarch. Combining style elements that were popular during the Louis XIII and primarily the Louis XIV period, each exhibits a particular mastery of wood sculpture that can be appreciated from any angle. The Louis XIII influence comes from the clockwise and counter-clockwise barley twist framework including the legs, stretchers, uprights and even the armrest supports. The tips of the armrests feature orb forms carved with shell. The seatback, however, steals the show with a majestic arched crown festooned with an heraldic crest at the center with acanthus plumes reaching out to the sides. Below the crown is a masterwork of foliate and scrollwork held aloft by a mirror image of the crown above. Upholstery is serviceable but should be replaced.
If you act fast, the original matching canape and pair of armchairs are still available as of this writing. See Related Products below left.
