Refined, elegant, and richly detailed, this pair of 1950s French Louis XVI side chairs brings timeless neoclassical charm into any interior. Expertly crafted from solid beechwood and finished in glowing gold leaf, they embody the sophistication associated with France’s most iconic decorative period. Their harmonious blend of historic craftsmanship and updated upholstery makes them an exceptional addition to both classic and contemporary homes.

Description
Handmade in France during the 1950s, these side chairs display the signature elements of Louis XVI design: straight classical lines, delicately fluted legs, carved rosettes, and a gracefully contoured backrest. Each frame is carved from solid beechwood, chosen for its density, strength, and ability to hold exquisite detail.
About a year ago, both chairs underwent meticulous restoration. The frames were refinished with genuine gold leaf, revitalizing their warm, luminous glow while preserving the character of their original carvings. The finish highlights the intricate craftsmanship that defines the Louis XVI silhouette.
The seats and backrests were reupholstered in a luxurious damask fabric, woven from a high-quality silk and cotton blend. The upholstery features an elegant light grey-blue floral pattern, adding soft sophistication without overpowering the gold frame. This combination of palette and texture creates a calming, elevated aesthetic suitable for a wide range of interiors.
Lightweight yet sturdy, these chairs provide versatility in placement: ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, foyers, reading nooks, vanity tables, piano seating, or office accents.
