Handcrafted in France during the late 19th century, this pair of Louis XVI–style fauteuil armchairs reflects the enduring influence of 18th-century French design during the Belle Époque. The frames are carved with neoclassical restraint—fluted legs, gently rounded arms, and a shaped back—executed with the softer hand and livability typical of the period.
The chairs retain their original upholstery, worn and time-softened, offering a beautifully muted surface with subtle floral motifs and a palette that feels calm, sun-faded, and authentic. The painted finish shows layered wear and patina consistent with age, revealing a surface that speaks to decades of use rather than restoration.
Produced as a coordinated pair, these fauteuils balance historical character with comfort, making them well-suited for modern interiors.
Found in France, circa 1880 - 1890
Solid wood construction
Backrests and armrests retain the original floral motif fabric, showing small tears and staining throughout
The upholstery has been professionally cleaned, but some staining remains
Original horsehair stuffing
Light scratching and wear to the original paint finish are present around the frame of both chairs
The chairs are sturdy
Overall wear is consistent with age
Each chair measures approximately 22.375” W x 22” D x 34.25” H; floor to seat 17.5” H
