Lot 38: * Pair of Louis XIV Style Armchairs – Josselin Edition is a refined homage to the grandeur of the Sun

Pair of Louis XIV Style Armchairs – Josselin Edition is a refined homage to the grandeur of the Sun King’s era, masterfully crafted by the prestigious French institution Ateliers Allot. Constructed from solid beechwood, each armchair features symmetrical frames adorned with intricate carvings of acanthus leaves and scrollwork, transitioning into gracefully scrolled serpentine armrests that balance Baroque drama with ergonomic comfort. The chairs are upholstered in a warm peach fabric with a high backrest and deep cushioned seat, finished with decorative nailhead trim and supported by turned legs with a structural stretcher base. These pieces represent the pinnacle of French decorative arts from an “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” (EPV) that has integrated eight foundational trades of fine furniture across eight generations of family expertise since 1812.
