A Pair Louis XV Armchairs Stamped By Lefèvre.

Pair of armchairs with queen backrest, Louis XV period stamped Louis-Michel Lefèvre in carved, molded and lacquered beech wood. Their trunk lives in a single stream; from the flat backrest to the beautifully violinized queen, to the seat just as wide as it is comfortable, to the voluble belt, to the armrests provided with cuffs and with divergent hands without forgetting the supports in consoles implanted with gallant withdrawal to the fine and arched base, raised a set of double moldings; here nothing alters this elegant visual. The set of moldings enhanced with fine and delicate flowers and blossoms with twining foliage adorning the top of the backrest or emerging from the center of the belt as well as at the base of the armrest consoles give this pair of seats all its letters of nobility. The sculptures are lively and deep with sliced reliefs in order to receive the multiple encompasses of the lacquer.
