Pair of French Fauteuils in Coral Velvet

1900 - 1920
Description

A pair of elegant French fauteuils in coral velvet, dating to around 1920, with all the decorative charm and lightness of the early 20th-century revival styles. The carved wooden frames are time-worn that highlights the scrolling arms, shaped aprons and cabriole legs, giving each chair a refined, feminine silhouette.

The upholstery is a standout feature: a vibrant coral velvet with deep buttoning to the backs and generously cushioned seats, creating a luxurious, inviting feel.

The warm rich coral velvet gives the chairs a theatrical, salon-like presence—glamorous without being overbearing.

These fauteuils work beautifully as accent chairs, dressing-room pieces, or decorative seating in living spaces where colour and character are welcome. Their scale, comfort and visual impact make them especially appealing to decorators looking for something both pretty and practical.

A decorative and highly expressive pair that brings instant French elegance to any interior.

Delivery can be arranged nationwide, please contact me for further details

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A French fauteuil is an open-framed armchair characterised by exposed timber structures, padded armrests, and decorative carved details popularised during the eighteenth century.

Traditional French armchairs feature hand-carved hardwood frames such as beech or walnut, combined with webbed seating, traditional stuffing materials, and velvet or damask upholstery.

Louis XV style armchairs feature curved cabriole legs, asymmetrical floral or scroll carvings, and traditional mortise-and-tenon frame joinery.

Place a pair of velvet fauteuils opposite a modern neutral sofa or flanking a fireplace to create a focal point with contrasting texture and historical character.

Gently vacuum velvet upholstery using a soft brush attachment in the direction of the nap, keep timber frames away from direct heat sources, and apply clear beeswax to exposed wood.
