  • ObjectArmchairs

  • MotifsOval medallion back, Fluted tapered legs, Acanthus arm supports

This pair of 1920 French Louis XVI style open armchairs comprises two fauteuils constructed from giltwood and beech with a silvered finish. Each armchair has an oval medallion back, fluted tapered legs, and acanthus-carved arm supports with upholstered arm pads. The frames are upholstered in dark cream linen fabric, trimmed with decorative beading along the seat rails and backrests. The silvered timber shows subtle aged patination, and the fluted legs terminate in simple turned feet. Measuring 94 cm high by 64 cm wide, these armchairs suit a living room, drawing room, or bedroom as formal seating, occasional chairs, or a decorative pair flanking a fireplace or console table.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France, Louis XVI fauteuils are open armchairs defined by Neoclassical restraint, featuring geometric frames, fluted tapered legs, and oval or rectangular medallion backs inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity.

Frames were typically carved from native hardwoods such as beech or walnut, finished with water gilding or oil gilding over a gesso base, and upholstered using traditional natural materials including horsehair padding, linen webbing, and silk or wool textiles.

Authentic period armchairs feature hand-carved joinery, peg construction, slight asymmetry from hand craftsmanship, authentic wear to the gilding revealing underlying bole, and historical upholstery tacks or frame marks on the underside.

Position a pair opposite a modern sofa or flanking a fireplace to create balance, using neutral upholstery to bridge the transition between classical gilded frames and contemporary minimalist elements.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush without water or chemical cleaners, and clean upholstery using low-suction vacuuming while keeping the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
