9-piece Louis XVI-era Living Room Furniture Set—stamped By Jacques Lechartier
Artist: Jacques Lechartier, Maitre En 1773
Living room furniture set consisting of a set of 6 Queen-style armchairs, a pair of matching bergère chairs, and a matching wicker sofa. Queen-style armchairs with elegantly molded medallion backs, fluted legs with rudenté detailing, and finely carved connecting blocks. Parisian work from the Louis XVI period. Allseats bear the stamp of Jacques Lechartier, except for the sofa, which is attributed to this cabinetmaker.
Jacques Lechartier (1754–1809), a Parisian cabinetmaker, was admitted to the guild on September 9, 1773. He resided on Rue de Charenton until 1789. He left his J. LECHARTIER mark onbeautiful, understated, and elegant chairs.
This living room set offers a very rare opportunity to acquire furniture in its original configuration—complete and numerous—that has not been broken up into pairs or individual pieces. The design is elegant and well-crafted.
Our chairs are in good overall condition: the woodwork is sound (reinforcement on the back of a bergère, armrest reattached on an armchair), and they have retained their embossed velvet upholstery dating from the late 19th century, which has faded slightly to take on an orange-pink hue, with some signs of wear. The padding is sound and can be restored, though they can be kept as is for everyday use, giving a good overall impression of an authentic piece “in its original condition.” We can have them reupholstered and re-covered by our upholsterer (contact us).
