French 19th Century Pair of Marquise Chairs Circa 1890

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A stunning pair of French marquise chairs from the late 19th century, crafted around 1890, embody the elegance and sophistication characteristic of the period. These chairs exude the grandeur of French design, with a generous and wide seat that offers both comfort and a touch of regal flair, befitting their marquise style, which was often favored by the French aristocracy. The chairs are beautifully upholstered in a rich golden-yellow fabric with a sophisticated diamond-pattern motif, adding texture and a sense of luxury to their timeless design.

The frames are painted in a soft white, now showing a light, time-worn patina that enhances their antique character. The classic lines of the chairs are accentuated by gently curved armrests and delicately tapered legs, a nod to the neoclassical influences popular during the late 19th century. The slightly distressed paint finish provides a charming contrast to the luxurious fabric, making these chairs versatile enough to blend into both traditional and modern interiors.

With cushioned seats and padded armrests, this pair combines style with comfort, making them as functional as they are visually striking. Whether placed in a formal sitting room, a bedroom suite, or a luxurious lounge, these chairs will serve as statement pieces, reflecting the refined taste of French craftsmanship from the period. Their well-preserved condition, paired with the naturally aged patina of the wood, provides an authentic glimpse into the history and charm of the late 1800s.

This exceptional pair is perfect for collectors of antique furniture or anyone looking to add a touch of French aristocratic elegance to their space. Truly a rare find, these chairs are an exquisite example of the quality and beauty of 19th-century French design.
