The pair features ornately carved hardwood frames, likely beech, containing a woven cane back. The chairs are constructed with large oval cameo backs and broad open arms with padded arm manchettes in the classical Louis XVI "fauteuil à la reine" silhouette. The chair sits atop tapered and fluted legs descending from rosette-carved corner blocks and ending in small toupie feet. The aprons of the chairs are lined with a neat brass nailhead trim on each side of the chairs. The oval back galleries are filled by tightly woven panels in a basketweave pattern. Each chair is upholstered with a textured cream fabric with welted edges. The chairs have strong joinery and solid construction with minor cane losses as seen in photos. Crafted in a timeless French Provincial Louis XVI style, the pair is well-suited for a variety of spaces. Sold as a pair. Arm height is 26.25"h.
