A magnificent matched pair of French Louis XV style fauteuils (open armchairs) upholstered in exquisite hand-stitched needlepoint. The carved walnut frames feature the signature elements of the Louis XV period — gracefully curved cabriole legs, serpentined seat rails, scrolled open arms, and shaped cartouche backs.
Each chair tells a story through its needlework: one back depicts an elegant gentleman in 18th-century pastoral dress, the other a lady in full skirts, both surrounded by elaborate rose garlands, scrollwork cartouches, and lush garden settings rendered in meticulous petit point. The seats feature richly detailed floral bouquet medallions with rocaille scrollwork borders. Brass nailhead trim finishes each piece beautifully.
