Pair of louis xv period armchairs stamped mayeux.

Pair of walnut armchairs with crossbow backs and curved apron, arched legs stamped Mayeux. Louis XV period. Circa 1765. Louis François Mayeux was a cabinetmaker and joiner who was admitted to the Master class on July 29, 1757. A student and then collaborator of Nicolas Quinibert Foliot (1706-1776), he left behind some very finely crafted Louis XV chairs. The stamp is hot-stamped under the seat and under the rear crossbar. These chairs are in excellent condition; they have been serviced in the workshop, cleaned, and waxed. The upholstery is new and trimmed with Lelièvre damask. H X W X D = 87 X 57 X 51 cm.
