The pair of armchairs was made in France in the 18th century, Louis XV period. The carved wooden structure with reserves, scrolls, and relief floral decorations is lacquered in shades of ivory and gray. The backrest, upholstered in fabric, is slightly curved and sinuous. The armrests, padded in the center with fabric to create a comfortable support, are connected to the seat, also upholstered in fabric, with arched elements. The four legs, sinuous and curved, are carved and lacquered in two colors.
The fabric used, with a naturalistic decoration, is modern and in good condition.
It is also possible to increase the number of seats by adding four armchairs and/or a three-seater sofa, also made in France in the 18th century, Louis XV period and upholstered with the same fabric. The structure and carvings of these seats and the sofa are very similar: they are lacquered in two colors in shades of ivory and light blue, with reserves, frames, and floral leaf relief elements.
The armchairs are very refined and elegant, of great decorative value for a living room or an entrance hall, and can be placed either as a pair or individually in different environments. The light color of the lacquers used and the type of fabric with which they are presented give these seats great luminosity, making them suitable alongside antique or modern furniture.
