This set of four French salon chairs dates from 1860 in the Louis XVI style. Constructed from beech, the frames carry an original paint finish in cream and green, complemented by high shaped upholstered backs and sprung seats covered in yellow and cream striped textile with lemon and teal silk. Decorative elements include carved crest rails, turned legs, fluted pillars, and detailed mouldings on the painted show wood, showing a used finish appropriate for their age. Each chair measures 97 cm high, 46 cm wide, and 46 cm deep. Suitable for formal dining rooms, drawing rooms, or bedrooms, these seats provide elegant additional seating around a dining table, desk, or dressing table. Their traditional French chateau design makes them a practical choice for period interiors seeking authentic antique seating with original upholstery and painted decoration.

FAQs

French salon chairs typically feature refined carved timber frames, often painted or gilded, designed for formal reception rooms with padded seats and backs.

These chairs usually incorporate solid beech or oak frames finished with gesso and distemper paint, combined with hand-tied webbed upholstery and decorative fabric.

Authentic examples show natural wear through paint layers to underlying gesso, traditional joinery like hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, and subtle asymmetry in hand-carved accents.

Pair these chairs with a contemporary dining table to create visual contrast, or place individual chairs in bedrooms and hallways as functional accent pieces.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, avoid liquid cleaners on original paintwork, and position pieces away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage and paint flaking.
