About the Item

This magnificent pair of antique French Louis XVI gilded armchairs, dating to the 1870s era, embodies the timeless elegance of neoclassical design. Crafted with exceptional attention to detail, each chair features a finely carved giltwood frame enriched with delicate floral and acanthus motifs.

The scrolled armrests, fluted tapered legs, and square backs reflect the symmetry and classical restraint prized in 18th-century France, making them both decorative and highly collectible.
