Description from the seller
Antique Louis XVI Chairs in Cherry Wood from Late 18th Century
Refined set consisting of four solid cherry wood chairs dating to the end of the 18th century, Louis XVI. The seats stand out for their sober elegance and the clean lines typical of French neoclassical taste, with a straight backrest slightly shaped in the upper crossbar.
A particularly precious decorative element is the central interweaving of the backrest, characterized by oval entwined motifs with small floral carvings, which give lightness and harmony to the whole. The front legs are straight and taper downward, in full Louis XVI style, while the rear legs are slightly curved to ensure solidity and stability.
The seats are padded and upholstered in red velvet, as visible in the photo; the interior retains a traditional structure with braided straps, testimony to the artisan construction of the period. The cherry wood has a warm amber tone with a patina coherent with the era.
Chairs of great charm, ideal for dining rooms, living rooms, or spaces furnished with classic and elegant taste.
