Pair Of Large Louis XV Style Bergère Armchairs In Carved, Lacquered And Gilded Wood And A Footrest

A pair of large Louis XV style bergère armchairs in carved, lacquered, and gilded wood, with a matching footrest/upholstered leather seat. The armchairs feature generous frames of finely carved wood, gilded with gold leaf, with enveloping lines and the characteristic curves of the Louis XV style. The high, slightly curved backs offer excellent comfort while maintaining an elegant and majestic silhouette. The entire set is upholstered in deep red leather, meticulously tufted on the back, armrests, and seat, accentuated by decorative nailhead trim running along the seat rails. The leather, with its beautiful antique patina, lends these chairs an authentic charm and a warm character, typical of the grand bourgeois salons of the 19th century. The cabriole legs, richly molded and adorned with carved floral and rocaille motifs, rest on finely crafted sabots, accentuating the luxurious and theatrical aspect of the ensemble. The perfectly matching upholstered footstool echoes the same decorative style and ideally complements this set designed for relaxation and conversation. This set, both decorative and comfortable, will naturally find its place in a reception room, a prestigious study, a private mansion, or a classic interior seeking a striking piece emblematic of 19th-century French refinement.
