Each chair features an elegant lyre-shaped back—an iconic neoclassical motif—expertly hand-carved with fluted detailing and refined proportions. The original creamy white painted finish has been carefully preserved, exhibiting a charming aged patina with delicate, timeworn distressing that lends warmth and authenticity. The seats are newly upholstered in a luxurious laurel green velvet, adding richness and subtle color contrast to the pale frames. The seat is clean-finished with a matching velvet welt band for a crisp, tailored silhouette. At each corner, the hand-carved rosette blocks are highlighted with gold leaf accents, adding a touch of quiet opulence. The chairs rest on fluted tapering legs ending in classic toupie feet—hallmarks of the Louis XVI tradition. Structurally sound and visually timeless, this pair is ideal as elegant accent seating in refined interiors.
