This beautiful 2-piece set combines French neoclassical carving, soft color, and renewed upholstery, making it ideal for a living room, bedroom, foyer, vanity, writing desk, or salon.
Each chair features the characteristic Louis XVI silhouette, including straight fluted legs, carved rosettes, balanced classical lines, and a gently shaped backrest. The frames were restored approximately one year ago and refinished in genuine gold leaf, giving them a luminous antique-gold presence while preserving their vintage character.
The seats and backrests have been reupholstered in a refined silk-cotton blend damask fabric. The light grey-blue floral pattern adds a soft, elegant contrast to the warm gilded beechwood frames, creating a timeless French decorative look that works beautifully in both traditional and more eclectic interiors.
Lightweight yet sturdy, these chairs can be used together as a pair beside a console or fireplace, at a vanity or writing desk, or separately as occasional accent chairs in different areas of the home.
