(Cleaned and white-glove ready — suitable for immediate placement.)
This striking set of six French Louis XIV style Os de Mouton dining chairs dates to the mid-20th century and is crafted from solid walnut with sculptural, hand-carved bases. Each chair features the signature “os de mouton” (sheep-bone) legs joined by cross stretchers for strength and graceful proportion. The walnut frames have developed a beautiful aged patina, highlighting their depth and natural warmth.
The high, gently arched backs and sturdy stretcher bases evoke the grandeur of 17th-century design, while the flame stitch upholstery—a Missoni-like reinterpretation of the traditional point de Hongrie motif—adds a vivid, collected look. The woven textile’s muted tones of coral, olive, and gold bring subtle movement and color to dining spaces without overpowering the room.
Structurally sound and visually captivating, these chairs retain their original vintage fabric for those who appreciate authentic character, yet they can be easily reupholstered in linen, mohair, or velvet for a more tailored, modern sensibility.
A perfect blend of classical French craftsmanship and mid-century decorator style, this set complements both transitional and traditional interiors.
These chairs offer heirloom quality, sculptural presence, and enduring style—ideal for a collected, European-inspired dining space.

The fabric is worn at the base where knees would meet the seat. The backs have wear on the tops where hands would have pulled the chairs out. The fabric is strong and can be professionally cleaned to get surface dirt and oils out. The wood is all in good condition. Pictures accurately show the wear. less
