Beautiful set of 4 large molded and gilt wood chairs, Parisian work, Louis XV period circa 1760. Large so-called a la Reine format, to be placed against a wall next to a chest of drawers. The 4 chairs are stamped Jean Baptiste Meunier.
Jean-Baptiste Meunier (Born in 1714), Parisian seatmaker, the eldest son of Antoine Meunier, he was received master in 1739. He made Louis XV chairs, mainly important sets of armchairs.
Our chairs are typical of the furnishings of the great Parisian palaces, the great castles of the Ile de France (this kind of chair was found in Dampierre) or even the small apartments of the Palace of Versailles.
We chose to restore our chairs in the style of the Louis XV furniture in the Pompadour salon at the Palais de l'Elysée,
Very good condition, the seats are very robust with old restorations. Gilt is the original one - 18th century. The upholstery has kept its 18th century straps. We had the seats covered with a blue pineapple silk by Tassinari and Chatel, exactly like at the Elysee Palace, and enhanced with antique gold thread braids.
