About the Item
French 19th Century Louis XVI Style Giltwood Salon Suite with Tapestry Upholstery
An exceptional French Louis XVI style giltwood salon suite, dating from the 19th century, composed of a canapé and three fauteuils. This refined ensemble captures the grace and grandeur of the neoclassical revival, uniting sculpture, gilding, and textile art in a harmonious whole.
Each piece is finely carved with characteristic Louis XVI motifs—acanthus leaves, laurel wreaths, floral garlands—culminating in richly symbolic crests with doves, quivers, and lyres, evoking themes of love, music, and classical virtue. The giltwood frames retain a warm, time-softened patina, their subtle wear enhancing authenticity and charm.
The seating is upholstered in original Aubusson-style tapestry, delicately woven with romantic pastoral scenes and celestial putti in clouds. While the fabric shows evident age and wear, it remains a rare testament to the artistry of French decorative weaving, offering collectors the choice of honoring its noble patina or commissioning sensitive restoration.
This suite exemplifies the elegance and balance that made Louis XVI design a favorite of refined interiors, admired both in 18th-century courts and in the 19th-century revival. Complete sets of this quality and scale are increasingly scarce, making this an exceptional opportunity for discerning collectors, decorators, or institutions seeking to enrich a salon, library, or grand interior with authentic French luxury.
A masterpiece of craftsmanship and history, this suite speaks of opulence, artistry, and timeless taste.
