Description

Super pair of French Louis XVI style open armchairs in a wonderful vintage sage green upholstery and finished with brass studs…circa 1900.

Well carved and fluted arm rests columns and legs, the chairs are of a good size so when you sit in them, the back of the chair is headrest height for me (I am 5’10’’ tall) and the shaped backs make them very comfortable too.

The current upholstery is vintage, but certainly useable if the colour works for you, or they can be re upholstered in your own choice of fabric…please get in touch for meterage and cost.

Priced as the pair and as they are in the vintage upholstery.

Measuring:

39 inches or 99 cm high

27 inches or 68.5 cm wide

31 inches or 78.5 cm deep

17 inches or 43 cm seat height

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

FAQs

French open armchairs, often referred to as fauteuils, originated during the 17th and 18th centuries in France, evolving through periods such as Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI to reflect changing tastes in courtly elegance and comfort.

These chairs are typically constructed from solid hardwoods like beech, walnut, or oak, featuring traditional joinery, hand-carved decorative details, and traditional stuffing and upholstery methods.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut joints, period-appropriate wood ageing, traditional tool marks, and historical upholstery webbing, whereas reproductions often display modern machine fastenings and uniform machine-carved details.

They can be integrated into contemporary living spaces as statement accent pieces, pairing classic woodwork and vibrant upholstery with minimalist modern furnishings to create a balanced, eclectic aesthetic.

Preservation involves keeping the timber nourished with appropriate wax, protecting textiles from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and using professional cleaning methods suitable for antique fabrics and wood finishes.
