With their softly curved forms, carved beechwood frames, original pastel Trianon painted finish, and recently renewed upholstery, these chairs bring a romantic and refined French salon character to any interior.
The handmade frames are crafted from beechwood and decorated with floral carving, scrollwork, and ornamental Louis XVI-style details. The original pastel and green Trianon finish has developed a beautiful aged patina over time, with soft wear, tonal variation, and natural imperfections that add depth, charm, and authentic vintage character.
The chairs have recently been professionally reupholstered by a skilled team. The upholstery combines soft velvet with floral damask fabric. The sides are finished in tufted velvet, while the backs have a refined solid velvet appearance. The backrests and seat cushions are upholstered in elegant floral damask fabric made from a silk and cotton blend, carefully selected to harmonize with the pastel and green painted beechwood frames.
This matching pair has a soft, romantic, and highly decorative appearance, ideal for a living room, grand salon, bedroom suite, boutique hotel, dressing room, or elegant interior project.
