Lot 1161: * A Pair of Louis XVI style fauteuils

A Pair of Louis XVI style fauteuils This commanding pair of Lelarge armchairs (fauteuils) is a masterful hand-carved reproduction of an original design by the historic master Jean-Baptiste III Lelarge, showcasing the architectural elegance of the late 18th-century Neoclassical movement. Crafted from solid beechwood, the frame features a classic medallion back and is supported by straight, tapered, fluted legs topped with finely hand-carved rosettes at the die-join blocks. The seat is constructed using elite, traditional French methods, including leaf fibre trimming and quilted horsehair layered over helical coil springs to ensure superior comfort and structural longevity. Finished in a deep, regal crimson velvet, this Lelarge model embodies the symmetry and restrained luxury that defined the reign of Louis XVI. Each chair measures 96 cm in height, 64 cm in width, and 66 cm in depth (38″ x 25″ x 26″), offering a sophisticated silhouette for a formal interior.
