About the Item
Introduce timeless Parisian sophistication into your home with this exquisite pair of French Louis XVI paint-decorated armchairs, a beautiful example of neoclassical elegance and finely carved craftsmanship. Each fauteuil features a gracefully curved shield-back form, richly carved with ribbon twists, beading, fluting, and rosette blocks—hallmarks of late-18th-century Louis XVI design. The original painted and gently patinated finish highlights the crisp detailing and adds a soft, romantic charm that only authentic French antiques possess.
The chairs are upholstered in a classic striped floral fabric in tones of rose, cream, and sage, perfectly complementing the hand-painted frames. Padded armrests and deep, generous seats ensure comfort without sacrificing style, making these armchairs ideal for a formal living room, bedroom sitting area, or refined entryway vignette.
Tapered, fluted legs with carved capitals underscore the neoclassical symmetry and lightness that define the Louis XVI aesthetic. Whether placed beside a marble-top commode, used as host chairs at a dining table, or incorporated into a designer reading nook, these fauteuils offer enduring elegance and decorative richness.
This pair is perfect for collectors, interior designers, and lovers of fine European antiques looking to add historical authenticity, French charm, and classical beauty to their interiors.
