Pair of Antique Louis XVI Style Mahogany Dining Chairs

An attractive pair of antique Louis XVI style mahogany dining chairs, with elegant carved detailing, fluted front legs and upholstered seats. The tall backs feature classical decorative carving, giving the chairs a refined French-inspired appearance. Their compact proportions make them particularly versatile and they would work well as dining chairs, occasional seating, bedroom chairs or as a decorative pair in a hallway or dressing room. The mahogany frames have developed a warm colour and attractive patina with age. Condition Both chairs are structurally sound and sturdy. The upholstery shows signs of age and use, with some marking, and would benefit from cleaning or reupholstery depending on preference. One chair has an older repair to the backrest, shown in the photographs. There is further wear and tear commensurate with age, including minor marks and surface wear to the timber. A handsome antique pair, ready to use as they are or ideal for updating with new upholstery. Dimensions Height: 87 cm Width: 48 cm Depth: 41 cm Seat height: 43 cm
