This pair of French Louis XVI Revival open armchairs from around 1900 consists of hardwood frames finished in an off-white paint with visible wear and grey underpainting. Each chair features an oval medallion back rest carved with a three feathers motif and cloth swags, slim curving arms on swept supports, sprung seats upholstered in a red and taupe striped silk fabric, shaped and fluted rails below the seat, and turned and fluted legs with carved detail at the tops. The covers are serviceable with some small watermarks and minor wear, while the seats maintain firm springs within solid and sturdy frames. The dimensions measure 94 cm high, 58.5 cm wide, and 51 cm deep. These armchairs suit placement in a living room, study, or bedroom as functional seating that complements traditional or classic interior schemes. They provide comfortable parlour or occasional seating around a table or beside a fireplace, adding a refined French chateau aesthetic to a seating arrangement or reading corner.

FAQs

Louis XVI style armchairs, originating in the late 18th century and reproduced around 1900, feature Neoclassical influences including oval or medallion backs, straight fluted legs, and carved floral or ribbon crestings.

These chairs were typically constructed from carved hardwoods such as beech, finished with painted gesso coats in pale shades, and upholstered with woven fabrics like silk, damask, or striped velvet.

Look for authentic wear along the paint finish revealing underlying wood or gesso layers, traditional joinery methods, natural ageing on the armrests, and hand-tied upholstery springing.

Position a pair of painted armchairs flanking a console table or fireplace to introduce symmetry, or place one in a primary bedroom corner to contrast structured contemporary architecture with curvilinear lines.

Dust the painted frame regularly using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid water or chemical solvents on the gesso layer, and clean fabric upholstery using a soft brush attachment.
