This exceptional set of ten 1940s French Louis XVI–style dining chairs embodies refined craftsmanship, elegant neoclassical form, and decorative versatility rarely seen in groups of this size. Beautifully hand-carved from solid beech or fruitwood, the frames display a warm honey-toned finish highlighted with gilt details that accentuate the crisp carvings and subtle architectural lines synonymous with the Louis XVI aesthetic.

Each chair features a shield-shaped cane back, meticulously woven and framed with carved bead-and-reel borders, floral rosettes, and delicate fluting. Resting over the cane are removable upholstered protective panels, shaped to follow the back silhouette and finished in a luxurious damask fabric with soft cream and beige tones. These panels not only elevate the visual elegance but also protect the cane and offer interchangeable styling options depending on the desired look or season.

The seats are generously padded and upholstered in matching high-quality damask, providing superior comfort and continuity of design. The carved seat rails show ribbon, acanthus, and floral motifs, all hand-finished, while the chairs rest on classic tapered, fluted Louis XVI legs that terminate in refined toupie feet.Minor holes in some cane panels and some upholstery is damaged as shown.

Whether used around a long banquet table, paired with a Directoire or Maison Jansen dining piece, or arranged as accent seating throughout a home, these chairs offer incredible style, comfort, and decorative impact. Their 1940s era craftsmanship ensures durability, while the timeless Louis XVI influence guarantees enduring aesthetic appeal.
