A sophisticated pair of French 19th century wingback bergere armchairs and large matching ottoman. One side of the ottoman is concave to fit the bowed front of the chair–forming a kind of chaise longue as desired–and curves out on the opposite side, along the lines of a Duchesse Brisee set. Typical of the Louis XV style, carved oak frames outlining the navy blue upholstery are accented by low finials in foliate motif along the serpentine curves from the handrail through the arms. They are accented with little manchette upholstered elbow pads for comfort. Supremely comfortable cushions on each wide seat make this set easy to incorporate into any existing home decor. The chenille-type fabric, likely added in the 20th century, in luminous indigo blue is in fair condition with a burn mark on one of the seats. Comfortable and deep, the seat height is 17 ¾” to the crown. Please know the chair legs have been tightened, and all the frames cleaned & polished with a French paste wax to be ready for their next chapter. Make sure to view the detailed images for a closer look at the current condition of this handsome set.
