French. Early 19th Century. Matched pair of Louis XVI style stained oak fauteuils with tall arched rectangular padded back joined by downswept arms on volute supports to the padded seat, raised on os de mouton legs joined by matching double front stretcher and stretcher base. Both fauteuils covered in striped velvet and silk upholstery with large stylized nailheads. Height 44", width 24.5 (arm to arm), seat depth 20.5", seat height 18.5".

Chairs are firmly affixed to stretcher base and sturdy. There are surface scratches to the finish particularly along the scrolled arms and bottom of legs. Wear appears to be commensurate with age and usage.
