The set comprises four side chairs and two armchairs, each executed in the refined Louis XVI style with square backs, crisp molded frames, and finely fluted legs terminating in toupie feet. Retaining their original painted finish in a soft cream tone with an authentically aged patina, the frames show tasteful areas of wear consistent with time and use. The chairs have been structurally restored for stability, ensuring they are solid, durable, and suitable for everyday use. Upholstered in their original deep blue velvet, the seats and backs display a subtle time-earned sheen, finished with a perimeter of antique brass nailhead trim that underscores their tailored silhouette. The armchairs are further detailed with upholstered armrests, enhancing comfort and refinement. This set reflects the enduring elegance of the Louis XVI tradition, balancing neoclassical symmetry with the warmth of original materials and finishes. Versatile in both formal and collected interiors, the chairs embody timeless craftsmanship and remain as functional as they are decorative.
