Vintage Gainsborough Style Arm Chairs, Pair

Design Plus Gallery presents a Pair of Gainsborough Style Arm Chairs. This exquisite pair of Gainsborough style armchairs exemplifies the refined taste and masterful craftsmanship of 18th-century furniture. Inspired by the sumptuous French Rococo designs prevalent during the Louis XV period, each chair displays the hallmarks of the Gainsborough, or “French,” style: a high, generously arched back, gracefully open sides, and short upholstered arms that invite relaxed repose. The mahogany wood frames are richly finished and display intricate carving along the arms and legs, echoing both the romantic curves of the Rococo and the robust forms favored in British interpretations. Particularly striking are the hairy paw or hoof feet an ornate detail often associated with both Chippendale and Queen Anne styles, nodding to the opulence and whimsy of the period. The chairs are upholstered in a cream and blue stripe fabric, lending a subtle touch of elegance and versatility to any formal or traditional interior. Signs of visible wear are visible on both the fabric and wood. In good condition, visible and minimal wear from usage.
