About the Item
This extraordinary set of French Empire dining chairs by Balzarotti of Paris exemplifies the height of 19th-century Parisian craftsmanship. Each chair is beautifully paint-decorated in a refined cream tone with gilt accents, creating an elegant contrast that highlights the finely carved details. The frames feature classical motifs typical of the French Empire style—squared backs with rosettes, fluted legs, and laurel wreath embellishments—all hand-finished in gold leaf for a touch of regal splendor.
The chairs are upholstered in a rich striped silk fabric of crimson, gold, and taupe, perfectly complementing the neoclassical frames. The result is a harmonious marriage of luxury and refinement, making them suitable for both formal dining rooms and high-end design interiors.
Sets of this size and quality are exceedingly rare, particularly from a maker as distinguished as Balzarotti. Ideal for collectors, designers, and connoisseurs of French Empire furniture, this suite offers not just seating, but a statement of historical elegance.
Biography of Balzarotti of Paris
Balzarotti of Paris was a renowned 19th- and early 20th-century French ébéniste (cabinetmaker) and decorator, celebrated for his meticulous interpretations of Louis XVI and Empire styles. Based in Paris, Balzarotti’s workshop gained recognition for producing paint-decorated and gilt furniture of the highest quality, often commissioned by the Parisian elite and exported to discerning clients worldwide.
His pieces are distinguished by their refined neoclassical lines, delicate paint finishes, and gilded ornamentation, bridging the grandeur of the French Empire with the lightness of Louis XVI design. Collectors today prize Balzarotti’s work for its historical importance, Parisian provenance, and enduring craftsmanship. Many of his creations remain in private collections, high-end galleries, and museums, attesting to his reputation as one of the important Parisian furniture makers of his era.
