About the Item

This exquisite set of six Louis XV-style cabriolet armchairs evokes the opulent curves and comfort of 18th-century French rococo design, crafted circa 1940s. Hand-carved from beechwood with sinuous cabriole legs, scrolling arms, and delicate shell and acanthus motifs, the frames feature a desirable pickled (limed) finish—stripped and distressed to reveal the natural wood grain beneath a soft whitewash for an authentic, timeworn patina. The enveloping caned backs provide breathable elegance, while the seats and backs are upholstered in a red damask fabric with intricate diamond lattice, offering modern comfort without sacrificing vintage allure. Perfect for a dining ensemble or as statement pieces. Excellent restored condition: frames professionally stabilized, no structural issues, upholstery is newer but vintage with age-appropriate wear.

Elevate your dining ensemble with this exceptional set of six "Target" arm chairs by McGuire Furniture Company, the pioneering San Francisco brand founded in 1948 by John and Elinor McGuire.
