About the Item
These French Neoclassical mahogany armchairs, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century are a legacy of craftsmanship, a touch of Parisian elegance for your home, potentially attributable to the renowned Jacob-Desmalter workshop. These exquisite pieces embody the refined elegance of the Louis XVI and Directoire styles, marking the early phase of Neoclassicism.
Fashioned from solid mahogany, these seats showcase impeccable workmanship. The hand-carved decorations and inlays are executed with supreme mastery. Gracefully curved arms and a top rail sculpted in low relief with acanthus leaves, lotus leaves, and rosettes exemplify the most cherished Neoclassical motifs of the Directory, Restoration, and Empire periods.
The high, slightly arched back paired with a large, exceptionally firm seat offers extraordinary comfort. The curved seat rests upon carved console legs in front and saber legs at the back, ensuring uncompromising stability and style.
The high, gently arched backrest cradles you in comfort, while the firm, spacious seat provides unwavering support.
With silk upholstery extending to the chair backs, these armchairs are perfect as standalone or central elements in any setting. These chairs aren't just beautiful; they're versatile. Picture them as the crowning glory of your living room, adding a touch of Parisian sophistication to your space. Or envision them at the head of your dining table, transforming every meal into a regal affair. In a study or dressing room, even a single chair becomes a statement piece, a conversation starter that speaks volumes about your refined taste.
Recently restored to their former glory, these chairs boast a sumptuous green silk upholstery adorned with Empire laurel crown patterns. The fabric, 100% pure Italian silk, is enhanced with green and golden-yellow trimmings that catch the light and draw the eye. It's not just furniture; it's wearable art for your home to cherish for years to come.
And here's a delightful secret: a matching three-seat sofa, currently dressed in rich red velvet, is available separately. Imagine the impact of the complete set in your home!
Historical Note:
François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter, son of Georges Jacob, led one of Paris's most influential cabinetmaking workshops from 1796 to 1825, in partnership with his elder brother.
