Executed in the Louis XVI style, the chairs are modeled after the iconic chaise en médaillon form, a silhouette that first gained prominence in the late 18th century.

Each chair features a solid carved wood frame finished in a distressed paint technique, highlighted with silver leaf and touches of gilt gold, creating a time-worn patina that enhances its classical character. The circular medallion backs are outlined with carved detail and centered by an intricately pierced splat.

The armchairs feature gently scrolled arms that echo the rhythm of the frame, while all six chairs stand on elegant cabriole legs.

Seats are upholstered in a neutral ivory textile with a subtle ribbed stripe, finished with a tailored double-welt edge. This restrained upholstery provides a refined contrast to the ornate frames, lending both balance and versatility.

With their symmetry, neoclassical motifs, and delicate gilded accents, these Louis XVI–style chairs embody elegance and decorative presence, making them a stylish addition to traditional or transitional dining rooms, salons, or formal entertaining spaces.
