C1770 PAIR Louis XV fauteuil Armchairs

$5,650.00 the PAIR


This charming large pair of 18th century Louis XV period Fauteuil a la Reine (open armchairs with flat back: Google translate is no help here, I am afraid!) enjoys the "S" curved cabriole legs associated with the Louis XV style. The pair is painted in pale grey with traces of aqua embellishment. We have waxed the attractive painted surface for protection and sheen. The current green velvet upholstery is quite usable. The chairs are currently upholstered with springs. In due course we would reupholster the chairs according to period, and discard the anachronistic springing. Apparently unsigned, these chairs are large and comfortable . Many other 18th (and some 19th) century French chairs in stock. We also periodically have good 19th century copies of 18th century French chairs, if we feel they capture the grace and elegance of the originals.
