Pair of Louis XV Style Fauteuils – Solid Wood Frame, Silk Dragonfly Upholstery
Pair of Louis XV style carved fauteuils, each with a solid wood frame displaying the graceful curves and cabriole legs characteristic of the period. The shaped backs and scrolling arms provide a balanced silhouette, complemented by vibrant red silk upholstery embroidered with repeating gold dragonfly motifs. This upholstery adds a unique decorative flourish, setting these apart from more traditional damask or tapestry examples.
Ideal for use as accent seating in a living room, study, or bedroom, these fauteuils embody the charm of French-inspired design while bringing a bold splash of color to interiors. Their blend of classic craftsmanship with whimsical upholstery makes them both versatile and distinctive.
Condition:
Good overall, with wear consistent with age and use. Both chairs show cracks to the rear legs, old repairs, and some losses to the wood, including a missing section on one chair. Upholstery remains intact and attractive, though with expected light wear and slight fraying at edges. Frames remain stable and suitable for display or continued functional use.
