Immerse yourself in the elegance of 19th-century French design with this Louis XVI style bergère chair and matching ottoman, both circa 1870. Rendered in painted wood, these pieces demonstrate a refined aesthetic adorned with carved twisted ribbon motifs and fluted legs, typical of the period's renowned style. The bergère, characterized by its slanted back and slightly out-scrolling arms, offers a comfortable retreat. Its apron, skillfully carved on three sides with twisted ribbon motifs, exhibits an artistic precision that enhances its overall appeal.
