Their richly carved frame features a decoration of ribbons and palmettes, delicately worked in the wood.
The medallion-shaped back, the seat, and the armrests are adorned with cross-stitched tapestry featuring multicolored flowers and a gallant scene at the top. This scene depicts figures dressed in the fashion of the Age of Enlightenment, moving through a bucolic landscape, surrounded by a rich floral border.
The whole piece testifies to remarkable craftsmanship, where the architectural simplicity of the Louis XVI style, with its fluting, meets the softness of naturalistic ornamentation.

These armchairs are distinctive pieces, testaments to an elegant lifestyle and a refined era.
