Part of a curated private collection of European and Asian antiquities, this rare pair of late 19th-century French Louis XV style fauteuils en cabriolet (miniature armchairs) features exceptional hand-carved elmwood frames. Hand-selected for their authentic, curved silhouettes and the raw beauty of their construction, these pieces embody old-world craftsmanship in a highly sought-after, small-scale format.
Design & Restoration Potential:
Offered as a unique matching set, the upholstered chair serves as a stunning visual blueprint for restoration. It features a rich green velvet seat and a delicate floral tapestry backrest accented by antique metal nailhead trim. Its companion remains stripped down to an open, bare frame, showcasing the masterful hand-carved elmwood joinery.
This open-frame state is a major asset for designers, allowing a client to seamlessly replicate the original profile or install a custom textile pairing over a traditional sprung seat or a modern cushion.

The unfinished frame shows expected historical wood darkening near the feet from past floor cleanings, minor cloudy white blushing in the finish, and typical rusting on the original upholstery brads and tacks. These minor cosmetic imperfections are completely standard for 19th-century project items and will be naturally addressed or covered during the standard reupholstery process. less
