The seat is covered in a taupe performance velvet with a low sheen, and against the white painted frame it reads dressier than the plain fabric versions in the same family. The back is an oval of open cane, painted to match the frame, so the weave shows as texture rather than as a contrasting material.

The frame itself is Louis XV, beechwood shaped into the oval back and cabriole front legs, all under a clean white finish. Each chair is 21 inches wide and 41 inches high with a seat height of 19 inches, proportioned for dining but polished enough to serve at a dressing table. The height gives a row of them presence without the bulk of a solid back.

White with taupe velvet is the dressiest reading of this frame, so it belongs in a dining room with a painted or marble-topped table rather than a rustic one. Run several down a long table, or use two in a bedroom where the velvet can tie back to the bedding. They sit well with gilt, glass and pale walls, and they lighten a dark floor. See less
