Pair of Louis XVI Chairs

Pair of period Louis XVI bergere chairs. 

This stunning pair exhibit crisp decorative carved detailing throughout, including guilloche, rosettes and acanthus leaf detail to the bottom of the arms. 

Carved and arched back rails, with old paint worn to lovely effect. 

The overall look of these chairs reflects the neoclassical refinement of taste under Louis XVI. 

Bergere chairs were the first chairs designed for comfort, as well as style. Along with fauteils, they are the iconic furniture of the French monarchy.

With enclosed sides and deep seats these chairs are the perfect combination of comfort and classical style. They are very well suited to contemporary interiors.
