Item Details
A very elegant set of antique French giltwood bergère armchairs, shaped in the Louis XVI taste with carved frames and soft oval backs. The gilded frames are finely detailed with fluting, acanthus carving and delicate beading, all raised on tapering fluted legs. The chairs are upholstered in a quality silk damask with classical striping which complements the gilt frames, giving a refined decorative look without being overpowering. The generous padded seats and enclosed arms make these very comfortable chairs, originally designed for formal salons and drawing rooms where comfort and appearance were equally important.
Bergère chairs such as these were made for relaxed seating in grand interiors, often arranged in conversation groups. This is a lovely original set with great presence and a very usable scale. We are selling these as a set of four. We also have a further four matching chairs available along with a pair of matching stools, allowing the option to create a larger suite if required.
