Crafted in the second half of the 20th century, these chairs boast frames of richly grained hardwood finished in a warm, deep walnut stain that enhances the intricate floral carvings at the crests, knees, and aprons. Their sinuous cabriole legs and scroll arms exemplify the grace and softness of Louis XV-inspired form.

What truly sets these chairs apart is the bold choice of upholstery: a luscious goldenrod velvet that is both opulent and inviting. The hand-tufted backs are accented with decorative buttoning and nail head trim, a detail that speaks to the craftsmanship and quality typical of Weiman/Warren Lloyd’s finest reproductions. The velvet’s golden mustard hue plays beautifully against the dark wood, adding a vibrant yet grounded pop of color that works well in both traditional and eclectic interiors.
