Pair Of Antique Side Chairs In Carved Oak, France, 18th Century

A graceful pair of carved oak side chairs from 18th‑century France, executed in the Régence style. Each chair features a scrolled crest rail with a central shell and floral motifs, three vertical splats with arched detailing, and a shaped lower rail echoing the apron’s curves. The turned and fluted legs are joined by a stretcher with baluster carving, lending both elegance and stability.

Crafted from solid oak, the chairs retain a warm, aged patina that highlights their fine grain and centuries of use. Structurally sound and well‑preserved, with minor wear consistent with age, they form a harmonious and authentic pair.

These chairs exemplify the refined craftsmanship of the Régence period; ornate yet balanced, ideal for collectors and interiors seeking genuine 18th‑century French character and sculptural charm.
