About the Item

Superb Pair of 1940s French Louis XVI Painted Bergères – Gray Crème Finish, Goose-Down Cushions Presenting a superb pair of French Louis XVI–style bergère armchairs, dating from the 1940s and finished in a refined gray and crème painted patina that highlights every carved detail with elegant subtlety. These exceptionally comfortable chairs blend classic neoclassical design with the relaxed charm and craftsmanship of mid-20th-century French ateliers. Each chair features the iconic shield-form back, gracefully contoured and framed with bead-and-reel carving, fluting, and crisp corners that culminate in carved rosettes—hallmarks of the Louis XVI aesthetic. The hand-applied paint shows gentle, desirable patination, giving the chairs an authentic antique presence without sacrificing structural integrity. The upholstery is a warm, soft burnt-coral / terra-cotta fabric, beautifully contrasted by the cool gray tones of the frame. The generously sized seat cushions are filled with luxurious goose down, offering an exceptional level of comfort rarely found in modern upholstery. Deep seating, curved armrests, and padded elbow rests create the perfect balance of elegance and usability. Standing on tapered, fluted Louis XVI legs with carved floral blocks, these chairs embody symmetry, refinement, and timeless French sophistication. Their proportions make them ideal for a living room, bedroom reading corner, fireside seating arrangement, or boutique hotel suite. Perfect for interior designers and collectors, this pair combines historic charm with high-end comfort—an heirloom-quality addition to any space seeking authentic French neoclassical style with 1940s craftsmanship and luxurious down-filled seating. Whether placed beside a marble-top commode, paired with a Directoire writing table, or used as statement seating in a salon, these bergères elevate any room with understated elegance and enduring beauty.
