This exquisite set of twelve Louis XVI style dining chairs blends the charm of authentic antiques with the craftsmanship of mid-century American furniture making. Comprising six 1970s Karges Furniture chairs and six antique 1920s side chairs, the collection has been thoughtfully unified through a cohesive antique whitewashed finish, distressed for a timeworn patina, and regal royal blue velvet upholstery accented by decorative brass tacks.
The Set Includes:
Six 1970s Karges Chairs: Four caned-back side chairs and two open-arm fauteuils. These showcase the timeless Louis XVI form with fluted legs, refined neoclassical carvings, and delicately curved armrests on the fauteuils. The caned backs add an airy elegance, blending structure and comfort.
Six 1920s Antique Side Chairs: Featuring a slightly more pronounced antique presence, these early 20th-century chairs reflect classic Louis XVI design with rectangular backs, fluted legs, and intricately carved rosettes and moldings—elevated by their modern royal blue velvet upholstery.
All twelve chairs have been professionally reupholstered within the last two years in a luxurious royal blue velvet, offering a striking contrast against the soft whitewashed frames. The addition of decorative brass nailhead trim adds a tailored, jewel-like detail that enhances their formal presence.
While the maker’s label is no longer present, the craftsmanship and style of the Karges chairs remain unmistakable—representing the brand’s legacy of quality and timeless design.
Whether arranged together for a grand dining table or styled in pairs for accent seating, this rare and curated set offers exceptional versatility, history, and refinement. A stunning combination of French tradition and American heritage, perfect for interiors that seek classical beauty with a twist of bold elegance.

The whitewashed finish has been intentionally distressed, with scuffs and paint chips thoughtfully placed to complement the style. Each chair remains solid and sturdy, with no loose joints or structural issues. Please refer to all photos for the most accurate representation, and feel free to zoom in to examine the details. In my opinion, the overall condition of the set is a strong 9.5 out of 10. Our inventory predominantly features rare to very rare vintage pieces, each with its own unique charm and imperfections reflective of its history. Embrace the character and story behind owning a vintage gem. The photos serve as a visual guide, capturing the essence of these pieces. While we strive to curate the finest vintage inventory, please appreciate that these items have lived a previous life. At the intersection of history and design, owning vintage pieces like these set of 12 Louis XVI Style Dining Chairs is a nod to timeless elegance and sophistication. A single image has been digitally staged to showcase potential placement and styling. The remaining photographs provide the most accurate representation of the piece’s condition, finish, and overall character. less
