Pair of Louis XV Style Bergère Chairs

This is a pair of French Provincial or Louis XV style upholstered armchairs, commonly referred to as 'bergères' due to their enclosed sides. The frames are constructed from a light-to-medium toned wood, possibly fruitwood or stained beech, featuring classic rococo-inspired curves. The top rail showcases a serpentine or 'camel-back' shape, while the arms transition into padded elbow rests (manchettes) and terminate in scrolled hand-grips. The chairs are supported by short, carved cabriole legs with thumb-molding details and whorl feet. Both pieces are upholstered in a cream and pale-lavender or grey damask/toile fabric with a large-scale floral and foliate pattern. The upholstery extends across the backrest, seat cushion, and arm interiors. In terms of condition, the upholstery appears intact but shows visible sagging in the seat cushions, indicating possible wear to the inner springs or webbing. There is noticeable scuffing and finish wear on the wooden feet and lower rails, consistent with age and floor contact. While no maker's marks are visible in the photo, the style suggests mid-20th-century reproductions of 18th-century designs. The craftsmanship includes piped edges on the upholstery and decorative molding on the wood frames, indicating a mid-tier level of quality production.
