Late 20th Century French Louis XVI Gilded Beech Damask Bergère Chairs – Pair
This refined pair of late 20th-century French Louis XVI–style bergère chairs captures the elegance and decorative richness of classic French salon furniture. Crafted in solid beech wood and finished in luminous gold gilt, these chairs blend neoclassical structure with romantic damask upholstery, offering both visual grandeur and inviting comfort.
Frame & Construction
Material: Solid beech wood
Finish: Hand-applied gilt gold finish with softly aged patina

The frames feature expertly executed carvings along the crest rails, arms, and legs, reflecting Louis XVI design with subtle Baroque and Rococo influences.
Style & Decorative Details
Style: Louis XVI (Neoclassical Revival)
Design Elements:
Sculpted arms and supportive bergère-style side panels
Graceful cabriole legs for an elegant stance
Balanced proportions that combine formality with comfort
The gold finish highlights the carved detailing while providing a warm contrast to the upholstery.
Upholstery & Comfort
