Armchair (2) - Wood, Textile, Vienna straw - Louis XVI armchairs

Pair of vintage chairs with Vienna cane backrests – Louis XVI / Neoclassical style, 20th century Elegant pair of period armchairs, characterized by a refined carved wooden frame, finished with delicate shaping and enhanced by relief work and a handcrafted Vienna cane backrest woven by hand. The chairs feature a harmonious, elongated silhouette inspired by French models of Louis XVI taste and Neoclassicism, with decorative elements calling to mind European furniture design between the late nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century. The wooden frame is worked wood with a light, intentionally patinated and slightly weathered finish, giving the set an authentically lived and decorative look. Constructional features The high backrest is formed by a shaped wooden surround, with a slightly curved upper profile and linear decorations. In the center is a panel fully upholstered in Vienna cane, created with the traditional weave of small regular openings. The armrests are elegantly curved and connected to the back structure, while the front legs are slender, slightly curved and enriched with fluting and linear motifs. The same craftsmanship continues along the perimeter of the seat, giving the chairs an especially refined appearance. The upholstered seat is covered in pale pink fabric, with a decorative edge and a finish coherent with the romantic aesthetic of the ensemble. The padding has a soft and comfortable shape. The photographs also show the underside of the seats, allowing appreciation of the traditional upholstery construction and the artisanal workmanship of the frame.
