About the Item
This Period Antique Directoire French Louis XVI Walnut Armchair is a superb example of late 18th-century French design, capturing the refined neoclassical elegance that defines the Louis XVI style. Crafted from rich, solid walnut, the frame showcases the graceful lines and geometric restraint typical of the Directoire period, blending simplicity with sophistication.
The armchair features a gently curved barrel back and open arms that flow seamlessly into the tapered, fluted legs, providing both comfort and classical symmetry. The wood is finely patinated, highlighting its age and authenticity, while the carved medallions and subtle detailing on the joints reflect the period’s dedication to craftsmanship.
Upholstered in striped fabric in soft greens, creams, and muted tones, the seat and backrest offer a tasteful contrast to the warmth of the walnut frame. This upholstery not only adds visual interest but also complements a wide range of interiors, from traditional to transitional spaces.
Whether placed in a formal sitting room, study, or entryway, this Louis XVI armchair is a distinguished piece that brings timeless French elegance into any setting.
