Set of Six Directoire Period Lacquered Beech Armchairs (1795–1799)

This refined set of six beech armchairs, finished in their original pale green lacquer, embodies the exquisite craftsmanship of the late 18th century. Their design harmoniously blends strength and elegance: the rear sabre legs, characteristic of the era, contrast with the front "Jacob" legs, while the finely carved connecting blocks—each fitted with scrapers—support baluster-shaped uprights. The generous seats and reclined backrests provide remarkable comfort, enhancing both their practicality and aesthetic appeal.

Likely crafted in a Parisian workshop, these armchairs showcase exceptional artistry. They are in excellent condition and newly upholstered in a high-quality almond-green velvet, adding a touch of softness and modernity to their classic silhouette.
