Designed with comfort in mind, the chairs feature a notably wide and deep seat profile, making them especially well suited for use at a desk, writing table, or library workspace where extended seating is desired.
Each armchair is constructed of solid walnut, showcasing a warm, rich patina that accentuates the finely carved details throughout the frame. The shaped backs are fitted with single cane panels, framed by sculpted foliate and shell motifs along the crest rail and apron. The scrolled arms are topped with beautifully worn tan patinated leather armrests, trimmed with decorative nailhead studs, adding both visual contrast and practical comfort. The caned seats remain intact and taut, offering breathable support and a light, elegant appearance.
The cabriole legs are carved with floral and scrolling motifs and terminate in subtly shaped feet consistent with Louis XV design vocabulary. The pair is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with tight joints, well-preserved caning, and leather arm pads showing an attractive, authentic patina. Combining antique-inspired elegance with mid-century French construction, these desk armchairs are ideal for an executive office, study, library, or as sophisticated accent seating.
