This exquisite set of six Louis XVI-style dining chairs from the 19th century is a stunning example of French craftsmanship and elegance. Each chair features the iconic medallion-shaped backrest, framed by finely carved solid wood with a warm, honey-toned patina. The neoclassical influence is evident in the refined structure, fluted legs, and delicate rosettes carved into the corners of the seat frame, all characteristic of the Louis XVI aesthetic.

The upholstery is a standout feature, boasting an original hand-stitched Aubusson-style needlepoint tapestry with intricate floral motifs. The tapestry, woven in soft yet vibrant hues of red, blue, green, and gold, depicts a lush botanical arrangement, complemented by a geometric lattice border on the seat. The craftsmanship of the needlepoint work highlights the quality and attention to detail, making each chair not only a functional piece but also a work of art.

The seats and backs are generously padded, offering comfort while maintaining the refined silhouette typical of the Louis XVI period. Brass nailhead trim elegantly outlines the upholstery, adding a further touch of sophistication and securing the fabric in place.

This rare and beautifully preserved set would make an excellent addition to any classic dining room, château-inspired interior, or antique collector’s collection. Whether used as dining chairs or as accent pieces in a grand salon, they exude timeless charm and French aristocratic elegance.
