About the Item

A pair of 19th-century French Louis XVI side chairs, with carved giltwood frames, a ribbon crest and white linen upholstery. The Louis XVI style took shape in the 1770s and 1780s and takes its name from the king who reigned from 1774 to 1792. In reaction to the curves of the Rococo, it favored straight lines, tapering legs and classical ornament inspired by the excavations at Pompeii. The frames are gilded and the legs are fluted and tapered. They suit a bedroom, a dressing room or a hall. Well made and comfortable in its proportions, it brings a note of old-world style to a room. The upholstery is in good order, and the frame carries the gentle wear of age.
