Selling this rare set of eight 19th century well patinated French Louis XV style figured Walnut, dining chairs for a customer.

This style of chair is reasonably easy to locate in France as they continued to make this ever popular style.
But it’s rare to locate a large set of original period chairs, so that’s why I’m happy to sell.
Second half 19th century.
We have re glued and re wax finished all eight. Also our magnificent cane restorer Graeme Nichols
has personally restored the cane work where required.
Now in his mid 80s, this was the last large job he’ll do. Very grateful for his wonderful work over the years.
Notice the long placed shaped steel leg securing braces made to fit many years ago.
DM me for pricing.
More than happy to bring to your home to try with your dining table.

A most beautiful 19th century French green chinoiserie display cabinet of narrow proportions

The rectangular moulded top, above two long hinged doors, opening to reveal a cord covered interior, with a small light above each shelf.

The doors having a double throw lock.

With narrow glassed viewing sides, resting on short turned tapered legs.

Classic chinoiserie design overall. Notice the designs flow between joins, incredibly stylish always.

Chinoiserie style started in the early 17th century throughout Europe. The word derives from “chinois” French for Chinese.

European designers imitated the fanciful decorative designs on Chinese silks, art, lacquerware and furnishings.

The style has never fallen from grace. The Queen Anne period in the early 18th century was one of the most chinoiserie desired periods. Over the past three and a half decades in business, I have sold dozens of chinoiserie decorated pieces, from silk and rice paper art, to folding lacquered screens (two over the past year) many hanging bow-shaped hanging corner cupboards, desks, chairs, Chinese export sewing tables (two in storage)

The thing about a beautiful decorative chinoiserie piece is, there is only ever room for the one piece in your room. That one piece sits there either demanding attention or quietly rests saying, look here I am, you can’t beat my style and colouring, so take a seat and enjoy me.
