These two matching chairs have an elegant, light-filled French salon presence and make beautiful accent seating for a living room, bedroom, dressing room, foyer, or boutique interior.
Each chair is made in the traditional bergère form, with softly curved arms, cane panels at the sides, carved floral and scroll detailing, and a graceful high back. The solid beechwood frames retain their original painted Trianon decoration in pastel and green tones. This aged finish has developed natural patina, small marks, and subtle variations over time, adding genuine character and warmth.
The chairs have recently been professionally reupholstered. Their sides are finished in soft tufted velvet, while the seat cushions and backrests are upholstered in floral damask fabric made from a silk-and-cotton blend. The combination of velvet, floral upholstery, cane, and softly painted frames creates a richly layered French decorative look.
The pair can be displayed together as coordinated salon seating, positioned beside a fireplace or console, or used separately as elegant occasional chairs.
