Description
This elegant mid-20th century dining chair, crafted in the French Louis XVI style, features exquisite hand-carved detailing and retains its original painted wood finish. The chair showcases the classic design elements of the Louis XVI period, including an oval-shaped backrest, an outwardly curved front seat rail, and finely fluted, tapered legs ending in traditional peg-style feet.
The seat and backrest have been reupholstered in a sophisticated ivory fabric, with the seat in a ribbed spade pattern and the backrest featuring a complementary yet distinct design. This thoughtful contrast adds subtle visual interest while preserving the chair's refined aesthetic.
Timeless and versatile, this French chair serves beautifully as either a statement piece or a graceful complement to existing décor. Its understated elegance makes it equally suited for formal dining settings or as an accent in more casual interiors.
