The wooden frame of each chair features the iconic, sweeping curves and cabriole legs characteristic of the Louis XV style. The finish is a masterful combination of painted and gilded wood. The primary color is a soft, warm cream or ivory, offering a gentle contrast to the delicate gilding applied strategically along the carved edges and volutes of the frame, highlighting the artistry of the moldings and scrolls.

Upholstery and Fabric:

The chairs are richly upholstered in a light blue or pale robin's egg damask fabric. This choice is a perfect complement to the gilded ivory frame. The fabric features a subtle, woven pattern—characteristic of damask—that adds texture and depth to the seat, back, and armrests. The high, curved backrests feature a traditional tufted or buttoned design, lending a plush, luxurious quality and enhancing their formal presence. See less
