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: Solid Frames for Reupholstery
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.
Designer & Upholsterer Special: Skip the tedious teardown process! This solid pair of late 19th-century French fauteuils has already had one chair stripped down to the original structural webbing, allowing you to inspect the pristine, wobble-free joinery before building your custom seat. Perfect for high-end upholstery projects, fabric matching, or custom showroom display.

The frames show expected historical wood darkening near the feet and typical rusting on the original upholstery brads and tacks. The unfinished frame shows minor cloudy white blushing in the finish. 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
