A Louis XV set of four chairs, mid 18th century, circa 1750

Elegant suite of four Parisian chairs padded curviform in molded beech wood, carved and waxed. Chairs of harmonious proportions, backrest in a violin convertible, seat as generous as it is hospitable, curvy curved belt, base devoid of spacer with reverse camber. A powerful play of vigorous and deep moldings moves the whole woodwork. The ornamental motif, a bouquet of fine flowers and foliage centers the belt as well as the top of the backrest. A similar decoration adorns the corner stops of the legs before the belt. Balance, nervousness, elegance and quality are the most appropriate terms for this beautiful series of chairs. It should be noted that great care has been taken with connecting elements of impeccable quality. The flourishing of the moldings, to which is added the very floral decoration of the bouquets and garlands of foliage make it possible to date this series of chairs around the years 1750-1755. The suite of chairs that we present to you is similar to the production of the Parisian cabinetmaker Louis-Michel Lefèvre famous carpenters in seats highly prized for his productions especially for this model of chair and armchairs. These chairs have been perfectly restored, such as cleaning, treatment and polishing. The padding and the strap were completely redone and then stretched with natural cowhide leather; this can, if necessary, be tinted and patinated, to do with the future buyer. It is worth noting an old splint and a gluing. Dimensions: Height 83.5cm, seat height 45cm - Seat width 55cm.
