We have the privilege to offer you this wonderful set of Louis the Fifteenth fauteuil chairs, which have a very good history and provenance.
Circa 1760.
The Pair of arm chairs measure 35" tall x 25" wide x 24" deep and the 4 side chairs measure 34" tall x 19" wide x 22" deep.
These chairs decended from a wealthy Canadian, Guilhot, family that immigrated from Southern France to Canada.
The fauteuil arm chairs are totally hand carved and wooden pinned, being of the mid-eighteenth Century period. The family had the side chairs carved to match during the late 19th Century, which are beautifully done.
This is as good as you are going to find, if you enjoy the elegance and beauty of the rich life styles of the Louis the XV period.
All the fauteuil chairs are of the highest carving standards and the chairs have a rich paint with gilded floral decor. Upholstery is of the floral Belgium tapestry design of the late 19th Century period.
These chairs will make a visual statment to any room.

In regard to furniture and accessories, we sell antique furniture and accessories. As most people know, these pieces become more beautiful with age because of movements and distress in the woods, some having restoration. Spindle turnings will not be uniform and swell unevenly with age. Wood tends to get stress fractures on support systems and where wide board construction is used. 85% of 18th Century veneers have had some restoration during their life. Pine secondary woods might fracture, making overlays and veneers have the same fracture lines. Old finishes might alligator, fade, fisheye or darken, depending on where the pieces were placed. All of these are desired by a true collector and gives it personality. Do not expect these early pieces to be like new. These pieces age gracefully just as we do, giving them unique personality. We do our best to describe and photograph all items thoroughly, but handle a quantity of pieces every day and might miss something. All these antique pieces are sold as is. It is your responsibility to view the photos, review the description, if you wish photos of a specific area on any piece we are happy to promptly submit them to you and ask any questions you may have before bidding. Selling items, untouched, usually directly from estates, we are not experts on clock works or any items with mechanical or moving parts. We know if they tick, run, move and are in tune with the quality of sound, but offer no guarantees on these items.
