Set of Four Louis XVI Painted Armchairs, France, circa 1770–1780

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A refined set of four matching Louis XVI armchairs from France, dating to approximately 1770–1780. Each chair exemplifies the neoclassical transition of the Louis-Seize period, with balanced proportions, restrained ornament, and an emphasis on symmetry. The oval backs are framed by finely carved rails, flowing into gently curved arms supported by turned arm supports. The seats rest on elegant, tapered, fluted legs joined by understated stretchers, all characteristic of the period’s return to classical clarity.

The frames retain an aged, painted finish with a soft, time-worn patina, contributing to their authenticity and visual depth. The chairs are upholstered in a neutral fabric that highlights the sculptural quality of the carved wood without distracting from the form. Harmonious as a set, they are well suited for placement around a dining table, in a salon, or as accent seating in a formal interior. A coherent and architecturally disciplined ensemble from late 18th-century France.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
