Pair 19th Century French Giltwood Louis XVI Salon Chairs with Cane Seats

Pair 19th Century French Giltwood Louis XVI Salon Chairs with Cane Seats will make the perfect accent chairs for your more formal accommodations.  Hand-crafted to a high degree of detail and artisanry, each features a rectilinear architecture common to the neoclassical style, but with a centered, arched seatback crown and a seat shaped like a lyre to add visual interest.  The framework on the seat back and seat is embellished with hand-carved molding in egg & dart next to beading motifs.  The seat back also sports a splendid pierce-carved back splat depicting intertwined foliage.  The seat is caned for lightweight comfort, and the egg & dart bordering is interrupted by four plinth blocks with rosettes and fluting that serve to provide junctures for the tapered, fluted and wheat-reeded legs, tipped with urn-shaped feet.  The gilded finish adds the perfect visual touch to the pair.
Circa 1890s
Each measures 36H x 15W x 18D; seat 17H
