About the Item

This exceptional set of 14 Louis XVI period chairs embodies the timeless elegance of the late 18th century. Featuring a refined and classic design, these chairs are crafted from carved wood with an exquisite oval medallion backrest in woven cane, a signature element of the Louis XVI style. The original patina enhances their authenticity, adding a charming aged character that reflects their history. The seats are upholstered in a faded yet beautifully aged burnt orange velvet, providing a warm contrast to the distressed painted wood frames. Some chairs show signs of wear, particularly on the upholstery, with visible stains and areas that may require reupholstering, offering an opportunity for customization to suit any interior. The detailing on the frames, including fluted legs and delicate carvings, showcases the skilled craftsmanship of the period. This rare and cohesive set is ideal for a grand dining room, a stylish event space, or a collector looking to maintain the integrity of a historical setting. Whether restored or kept in their current condition, these chairs bring an air of sophistication and classic French charm to any space.
