As a pair they dress up any seating area, creating a cozy and inviting spot to converse or relax in an air of French luxury & sophistication.

French 19th Century Pair of Louis XV Style Bergeres
$3,995.0033"H x 27.50"W x 29"D
Dimensions: 33” H x 27 ½” W x 29” D
A luxurious and inviting pair of 19th century French Louis XV style carved oak bergeres with olive-gold cut velvet upholstery. The ivory-tone painted wood frames have worn in areas to expose the grain underneath, carved in all those sinuous lines typical of the Louis XV taste, complementing the expressive Damask floral and foliate patterns woven in the upholstery for a tactile experience all around. The comfortable seat interior, using removable seat cushions, is soft and deep to read or lounge, balanced on dainty cabriole legs accented with escargot feet at the floor. Note that some of the piping has come loose, a few nailheads missing, and fabric is abraded which in no way affects the comfort. Please view the detailed images to see the current conditions of these gorgeous bergeres. Sold as a pair only.

A regal pair of French side chairs from the Directoire period (circa 1795-1800). The chairs have chalk-white painted frames now patinated to fine craquelure texture softening the symbolic, Neoclassical imagery carved in the back. Within the thick handrail one sees a stylized Greco-Roman urn framed by a diamond-shaped outline. In the splat is a (pierced) anthemion motif flanked by columns. Wide, flat seats are currently upholstered in a dark green velvet over natural stuffing. One chair has worn through to expose the horsehair underneath. Slender tapered front legs and sabered back legs have both order and a sense of lightness to fit anywhere. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition. Sold as a pair.

$9,800.0037"H x 65.88"W x 25.50"D
Dimensions: 37” H x 65 ⅞” W x 25 ½” D
French, 18th century Louis XV period seating ensemble to instantly transform a parlor or living room into a grand “salon” with seven pieces: one camelback sofa, three fauteuil armchairs, and three (armless) side chairs. Upholstery of cut velvet in pale green–like a white jade–has been brocaded with tonal damask patterns, harmonizing with the botanical theme in the caved frames, and outlined in brass nailhead trim. The giltwood frames have patinated over the centuries to reveal the deep red bole underneath, giving definition to the sinuous, rococo curves accented with floral and foliate carvings positioned at strategic points for maximum effect. The thoughtful proportions of the seat interior (balancing the heights and depths) are all quite comfortable, with dense stuffing of horse hair or other natural material that remains mostly firm and supportive underneath the tight upholstery.

The exposed wood frame, in all those sinuous curves typical of the Louis XV taste, is accented with floral and foliate carvings at the top, apron, and knees of the chair’s front legs. The seat interior, firm and deep to read or lounge, is currently dressed in a printed cotton upholstery of pheasants and flowers, carried through the outside arms but the backside is plain linen.

Dimensions: 33” H x 18 ½” W x 17 ¼” D
A handsome pair of carved oak George III style chairs from the 18th century. Look closely to appreciate the elegantly carved splats on the seat back and how they emulate the silhouette of Corinthian columns. Like most chairs of the Georgian period, the drama of the seat backs is balanced with generous proportions of the actual seats, which in these examples widen at the front and are carved with a shallow dip for comfort. Legs are mostly square and straight contributing to the overall solidity of the design both in a structural and visual sense. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, please view the detailed images to see the current condition. Sold as a pair.
