This exquisite pair of 18th-century French Baroque armchairs stands as a testament to the grandeur of European artisanal heritage. Each chair features a stately, high-back silhouette supported by expertly hand-carved frames, adorned with intricate floral motifs and ornate scallop shell detailing. The original verdure-style tapestry upholstery depicts a serene landscape with elegant avian figures, a hallmark of classical French textile art. These chairs offer a regal presence, perfect for anchoring a formal library, a grand entryway, or serving as a sophisticated focal point in a master suite.
Designed for both architectural impact and historical depth, these armchairs measure 28.5” wide with a 22” seat depth, a total back height of 42”, and a 15.5” seat height. Currently, the set exhibits a significant and authentic antique patina, including visible wear and shredding to the tapestry that adds profound historical character and "shabby chic" appeal. For the discerning collector or interior designer, these chairs represent an incredible opportunity for professional restoration or to be displayed as storied, sculptural statements. Add this rare pair of French history to your curated collection today.
