The generously sized fauteuils feature tall, gently curved backs, enclosed upholstered arms, and deep cushioned seats, making them ideal for a sophisticated living room, bedroom, or sitting area.

Each chair stands on turned and tapered front legs embellished with carved square medallions at the shoulders, while gently curved back legs provide additional elegance. The shaped front apron features subtle molded detailing, complementing the architectural lines of the frames. The tall, slightly rolled backs are crowned with delicate carved vase motifs, while the gracefully sloping armrests rest on small fluted column supports decorated with circular floral medallions.

Both chairs are upholstered in a soft, neutral grayish-lavender fabric, covering the backs, sides, armrests, and deep seats. Each fauteuil is fitted with a plush down-filled seat cushion and a coordinating cylindrical bolster pillow along the lower back, offering exceptional comfort and support. The generous proportions and slightly reclined backs make these chairs particularly inviting.

The antique armchairs are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. Their carved wooden frames retain a beautiful two-tone white and gray painted finish with a softly rubbed, distressed patina that enhances their French country character.

Perfect as a pair flanking a fireplace, in a formal living room, or as comfortable reading chairs in a bedroom or library.
