A pair of Louis XVI style gilt open armchairs/fauteuils manufactured in Paris around 1850.  Wide seats and good seat back geometry make this chairs very comfortable to to sit in.

They have been recently upholstered in Holland and Sherry dark grey “Chamonix” 100% wool fabric which is beautifully thick and tactile.

The seats have undergone full restoration, with new hand lashed springs and webbing while keeping the original double horsehair seatpad.  These were high quality, beautifully made chairs in their time.  The chair frames are solid but have signs of wear and tear including inactive woodworm holes which has been treated, and chips to the gilt.
