Pair Of Louis XV Armchairs - Aubusson Tapestry

Timeless elegance

We are delighted to present this magnificent pair of cabriolet armchairs, true gems of salon furniture from the second half of the 19th century. These absolutely graceful seats embody the spirit of lightness and refinement of the Louis XV style, sublimated by a Napoleon III-period realization of great finesse.

Exceptional joinery

The gilded wood carving is an ode to the rocaille repertoire. The curved backrests are crowned with delicate fleurettes carved in solid wood, a motif found with perfect symmetry on the curved belts and front crosspieces. The remarkably deep leaf gilding catches the light brilliantly, emphasizing every arch of the legs and every movement of the cuffed armrests.

The prestige of Aubusson Tapestry

The masterful asset of this pair lies in its original upholstery: authentic Aubusson stitch tapestry.

- Les Dossiers : Present bright naturalistic bouquets, where roses and peonies seem to bloom on a beige-gold background.

- Les Assises: reprise this teeming floral decor, framed by garlands and leafy scrolls, creating a visual harmony of rare poetry.

- La Palette Chromatique: shades of powder pink, cobalt blue and almond green have retained a superb intensity, offering a striking contrast with the brilliance of the gold.

A masterful decor element

Much more than simple seating, these armchairs are true objets d'art. Their presence in an interior, whether classic or more contemporary, adds a touch of nobility and an immediate "château" atmosphere. The quality of the upholstery, combined with the fluid lines of the structure, make them collector's items of great decorative strength.
