A matching pair of Louis XVI style bedroom armchairs, dating from 1910, constructed from warm brown walnut wood with an original finish. Each chair has an oval medallion backrest, padded armrests with gentle curves, fluted tapered legs, carved rosettes on the frame, and individual brass upholstery tacks securing the fabric. The upholstery is a tapestry fabric featuring a floral pattern in shades of gold, cream, and green. Standing with a height of 84 cm, seat height of 38 cm, width of 58 cm, and depth of 47 cm, these chairs are cleaned and restored to a sturdy condition. Positioned in a bedroom as originally intended, these compact armchairs work well in an attic room, a smaller sitting area, or a dressing room to provide comfortable seating. The combination of carved wooden details and traditional floral tapestry allows the pair to sit easily within a classical room scheme or alongside antique furniture. Regular domestic placement suits the sturdy frame, bringing period French style into daily use without occupying excessive floor space.

Originating in 18th-century France, Louis XVI furniture features Neoclassical symmetry, straight lines, geometric forms, and classical decorative motifs such as fluted legs and oval medallion backrests.

These chairs are typically constructed from carved timber frames such as walnut, beech, or fruitwood, paired with woven upholstery fabrics, natural padding, and decorative brass tacks.

Authentic characteristics include Neoclassical symmetry, turned and fluted legs, carved corner rosettes at the frame joints, and rounded or rectangular medallion backs.

Position a pair of armchairs at the foot of a bed, within a reading alcove, or flanking a console table to balance contemporary minimalist lines with classic Neoclassical proportions.

Vacuum fabric gently using a soft brush attachment, keep timber frames away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement, and treat exposed timber with natural beeswax annually.
