This very elegant pair of Louis XVI style walnut "bergères à oreilles" (bergères with ears) dates from the late 19th century. It stands on four tapered and fluted legs characteristic of the Louis XVI style. The woodwork is finely carved with ribbons and decorated with a bow on the top of the back.
I chose to reupholster them in a very fine pale green damask fabric.
You'll love them!

The Louis XVI style is classical, inspired by Antiquity, the shapes are geometric, the legs of the furniture are straight and light, often fluted. However, under the influence of Marie-Antoinette, the ornaments are enriched with musical and rural attributes, ribbon bows giving a delicate touch to the furniture.
