Elegant pair of late 20th century Louis XVI–style armchairs featuring finely carved giltwood frames with refined neoclassical detailing. Each chair is professionally gilded in genuine deep 22-carat gold leaf, as evidenced by the original “Genuine Deep 22 Carats Gold Leaves” label retained beneath the upholstery—an exceptional detail confirming authentic gold leaf rather than painted or faux gilt finishes.
The chairs display classic Louis XVI proportions, including square upholstered backs, gently curved arms, fluted tapered legs, and delicately carved ornamentation throughout. They are upholstered in a scenic toile-style fabric depicting pastoral figures, likely a later upholstery, which complements the formal lines of the frames while offering a romantic, traditional aesthetic.
Offered as a matching pair, these armchairs are ideal for use in a living room, bedroom seating area, entryway, or formal salon, and pair beautifully with a Louis XVI–style settee or canapé.

The frames are structurally sound with visible patina and age-appropriate wear to the gilding, including minor surface losses and scuffs. Upholstery shows wear, light staining, and areas of fabric thinning, and should be considered serviceable but likely a candidate for reupholstery depending on buyer preference. Original gold leaf labels remain intact beneath the upholstery. less
