A Beautiful Set of 4 French Louis XV Upholstered Fauteuil Armchairs

This stunning and sturdy set of four 19th-century French upholstered fauteuil armchairs is a superb example of the Louis XV style, with its rich ornamentation and absence of straight lines. Each armchair features a wonderfully sinuous wooden frame with a generous wide seat, a flat back, and open, padded armrests for added comfort. The crest rail and apron are deeply carved in high relief with delicate flowers and leafy foliage, while the elegant feet are finished with a single acanthus leaf, a classic Louis XV detail. The antique wooden frames, darkened by a rich, time-worn patina, are beautifully offset by the updated velveteen upholstery in a bold and vibrant palette of blue, red, and green, bringing a fresh contemporary touch to a truly classic form.
With a seat height of 45 cm, these armchairs are as comfortable as they are decorative, making them perfect for a formal living room, elegant salon, or refined bedroom setting. A rare opportunity to acquire a harmonious set of four, combining historic charm with modern appeal.
