About the Item

An exquisite pair of Louis XVI style armchairs, made during the Napoleon III era (1852-1870) in France. They feature a simple, richly carved wooden frame and are upholstered in taupe chenille with studs. The curved armrests contrast beautifully with the straight, square backrests. The entire wooden frame is fluted, adding to the overall elegance, as does the floral carving between the legs and armrests. Their distinctive shape and large size make them truly exquisite and refined. With a classic and timeless style, these armchairs can be placed in both living rooms and bedrooms. For some authors, the Louis XVI style has a distinctly "feminine" character, and it should even have been named after Marie Antoinette. It contrasts with the Louis XV style in its simplicity, emphasizing the rigor of geometric forms and straight lines, an inspiration drawn directly from classical architecture. It is characterized by lightness, harmony, and proportion, leaving aside the heaviness and excess of the styles that followed. It stands as a more discreet and elegant style than its predecessor. Shipping costs include professional, custom-made packaging and personalized delivery with tracking and a guarantee. DUE TO THE DIMENSIONS OF THE PIECE, WE PREFER TO ARRANGE SHIPPING WITH THE BUYER.
