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.
