£1,200.00

A pair of early 19th-century French provincial walnut armchairs, c. 1800-1820, in the neoclassical spirit of the Louis XVI and Directoire styles, of architectural lines and balanced proportions. Each features distinctive tapered legs and gracefully sweeping armrests finished with scrolls. The seats are upholstered in blue striped fabric, while the curved backs feature lyre-style splats held together by a rectangular motif.

The wood displays a warm, attractive patina, with a few minor repairs that enhance its authenticity and history. Simple yet elegant, these well-balanced country armchairs combine graceful lines with timeless provincial charm.
