The chairs feature a shaped and crested backrest with delicate ribbon and floral carving at the crest, scrolled wings, and molded arms with acanthus leaf detail, all supported on fluted tapering legs with rosettes at the corners.

The frames are upholstered in a muted beige velvet, giving the chairs a luxurious yet understated presence. The upholstery is finished with decorative trim, while the generous seat cushions provide comfort without compromising the neoclassical refinement. The backs reveal the original construction with the same painted framework.

These bergères embody the timeless grace of Louis XVI design—crisp neoclassical lines softened by painted surfaces and upholstery—making them versatile accent chairs for both traditional and eclectic interiors. See less
