Pair of Louis XVI period armchairs

Pair of 18th century cabriolet armchairs, Louis XVI period revisited. The medallion-shaped barrels have been revamped. Each beechwood barrel has been stripped to rejuvenate the style and harmonize with a more contemporary interior decoration. Intentionally, traces of the old paint remain in order to obtain a balance of style between the natural color of the raw wood and the old tapestry which has remained in its original state. The period tapestry handmade in petit point with pink floral decoration & bow has been cleaned, however the traces of use are still there. One is predominantly red and the other predominantly blue. The background of the pattern on the tapestry is beige tending to green. Some areas of wear and two stains are reported on the tapestry in certain places (see photo montages). Photographs to demonstrate the defects have been added. Each armchair is perfectly stable. Original horsehair padding and springs, seats very little used therefore firm. This charming pair of convertibles with a new look will fit very well into a contemporary interior decoration.
