This elegant set features classic Louis XVI proportions with square upholstered backs, straight lines, and finely fluted tapered legs. The frames are accented with carved rosette corner blocks and subtle neoclassical detailing throughout, giving the chairs a clean, architectural presence that feels refined without being overly formal. The armchairs are distinguished by gently curved arms with upholstered rests, adding comfort while maintaining the same balanced profile as the side chairs. The chairs retain their original painted finish, with beautifully aged patina and wear consistent with age and use. The entire set has undergone a careful, full restoration intended for long-term everyday use. All frames were structurally revised, reinforced, and tightened. Seats and backs were completely rebuilt and newly upholstered in a high-quality Italian olive green leather, selected for its rich tone, supple hand, and durability. The leather provides a refined contrast to the painted frames and elevates the overall presentation. Upholstery is finished with hand-applied brass nailhead trim, applied with consistent spacing for a clean, tailored finish. A substantial, well-executed set that combines original French craftsmanship with premium materials and thoughtful restoration, suitable for both formal dining rooms and relaxed, lived-in interiors.
