Carved wood and leather upholstery.
Fouls.
Measurements. 87 x 64 x 54 cm (x2).
Pair of armchairs of light and stylized structure, with cabriole legs, rosettes on the knees and in the center of the waist. The shape of the backrest, rounded oval, is also typical of the Louis XVI chair. All the parts that make up the structure are subtly molded.
The French Louis XVI style is included in Neoclassicism. The decorative elements, as already indicated, are classicist in inspiration, but the curves and sinuosities of the rococo of Louis XV have not disappeared, although these are secondary in the design of the furniture. Unlike the usual, in the present example the legs are not bronze, nor are the front projections of the Transitional style, prior to Louis XV, maintained.
