Sourced in Paris, the chairs retain their original teal mohair upholstery, a richly toned textile that adds depth and refinement while speaking to the quality of the original production. The oval backs, fluted tapering legs, and carved rosette corner blocks reflect the restrained neoclassical vocabulary characteristic of the Louis XVI tradition. The solid wood frames preserve their original painted finish, which has developed a soft, nuanced patina over time. Subtle wear and tonal variation are visible throughout, contributing to the authenticity and visual warmth of the set rather than detracting from it. The proportions are well balanced, with comfortable seat depth and a gentle back rake suitable for dining. The chairs have been structurally revised in our design studio, with joints tightened and reinforced as needed to ensure stability and longevity. The frames have been carefully waxed to protect the original finish and enhance the natural character of the paintwork. Solid, stable, and visually cohesive, this set is well suited for both formal dining rooms and more relaxed, collected interiors where classic French design meets everyday use.
