A pair of painted Louis XV style armchairs from 1930 bring French chateau style to a home interior. Each armchair has a serpentine hardwood frame finished in a distressed green paint with a visible antique glaze, featuring floral crest carvings at the top of the curved backrest and delicate floral motifs on the knee of the cabriole legs. Newly upholstered in off-white linen fabric with vertical stripes, the seating includes padded armrests and a rounded cushion. These armchairs measure 95 cm high, 67 cm wide, and 54 cm deep. Suited for placement in a formal living room, bedroom corner, or reading nook, they provide comfortable seating while adding classical decorative character and traditional craftsmanship to a seating arrangement.

FAQs

Louis XV style armchairs, frequently referred to as fauteuils, are characterised by curved cabriole legs, subtle floral carvings, open padded armrests, and fluid serpentine frames designed for comfortable seating.

These armchairs traditionally feature solid hardwood frames such as beech or walnut, which are often painted or gilded, along with webbed construction, horsehair stuffing, and natural fabric upholstery.

Authentic pieces feature fluid, uninterrupted curves without straight lines, hand-carved embellishments at the crest and seat rail, wooden peg joinery, and natural surface patination on painted finishes.

A pair of painted Louis XV armchairs can serve as accent seating in a living room, positioned opposite a contemporary sofa, or arranged within a bedroom suite to introduce textural contrast.

Maintain painted frames by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, keeping wood away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, and spot-cleaning upholstery with specialized fabric cleaners.
