Pair Of Louis XV Period Armchairs

An elegant pair of Louis XV period armchairs, characteristic of the mid-18th century, exquisitely illustrating the Rococo aesthetic then in vogue. These chairs feature a finely molded wooden frame, carved with delicate florets and foliate motifs, demonstrating high-quality cabinetmaking. The violin-shaped, "à la reine" backs offer a supple and harmonious line, perfectly balanced by the generous seat and gracefully curved armrests. The elegantly cabriole legs rest lightly on the floor and accentuate the fluidity inherent in the Louis XV style, breaking with the rigidity of earlier forms. These armchairs embody the French art of living during the Age of Enlightenment, where comfort became an essential criterion without ever sacrificing elegance. They integrate equally well into a classic interior or a more contemporary setting, adding a touch of authenticity and distinction. Report and Condition: The chairs are made of painted beechwood, in excellent condition. The upholstery has been completely redone using traditional methods, respecting time-honored techniques (webbing, horsehair). The entire set is covered in embossed mohair velvet from the Royal Bonvalet Manufactory, offering both tactile richness, visual depth, and great durability. Overall, remarkable condition, ready for use and display.
