Design & Style
Rooted in the Louis XVI tradition, the chairs feature hallmark elements of the style:
Medallion-shaped backs with refined proportions
Fluted, tapered legs inspired by classical architecture
Subtle carved detailing that enhances, rather than overwhelms, the silhouette
The frames are crafted from solid beech wood, prized for its strength and fine grain, and finished in a radiant gold finish that highlights the sculptural lines and carved details.

Upholstery & Comfort
Both the seat and back are upholstered in sumptuous fuchsia red velvet, offering a dramatic and sophisticated contrast to the gilded frames. The velvet has a rich pile and soft hand, reflecting light beautifully and adding depth and warmth to the overall look.
The chairs have been professionally re-padded with new, durable filling, ensuring excellent comfort and support while maintaining proper period-appropriate structure.
