Large Rare Suite Of 42 Matching Louis XVI Style Giltwood Dining Chairs With Silk Damask Upholstery

£32,000    $43,353    €37,699
An exceptional and highly decorative suite of forty-two giltwood dining chairs comprising thirty-four single chairs and eight carver armchairs executed in the elegant Louis XVI neoclassical manner.
 
The chairs feature beautifully oval medallion backs framed by finely moulded giltwood borders and raised on tapering fluted legs, a hallmark of classical late-18th-century inspired design. The frames retain their rich gilded finish which highlights the crisp detailing throughout.
 
Each chair is upholstered in a luxurious bronze-gold silk damask, woven with striking neoclassical ornament. The backs display a classical urn within a laurel wreath, while the seats feature an elegant anthemion and foliate motif, creating a cohesive and refined decorative scheme. A decorative braided trim finishes the upholstery around the frames.
 
The carver armchairs are particularly elegant, with gracefully curved padded arms terminating in fluted supports, echoing the classical proportions of the suite....
