Pair Louis XV Style Carved Mahogany Fauteuil Armchairs in Sage Linen
Annihilate the landfill, because Marie Antoinette never sat in IKEA
A matched pair of Louis XV-style fauteuil armchairs that actually look like they belong together—carved mahogany frames with proper cabriole legs, shell and floral motifs at the crest rail and apron, and that signature S-curve arm support the French did so well. Upholstered in a neutral sage-beige linen blend with self-welt detailing. These are 20th century reproductions done right—solid frames, no wobble, good bones. Upholstery shows light wear on seat cushions but nothing a Cambridge living room or a good re-cover couldn't handle.
The D'Beetle Difference
• Hand-Carved Details Throughout: Shell cartouche crest rails, acanthus leaf knee carvings, and scrolled apron details all carved from solid mahogany—not applied moldings. The rich reddish-brown finish has developed a lovely warm patina.
• Generous Proportions That Fit: These accommodate actual humans, not just 18th-century courtiers.
• Matched Pair, Ready to Use: Both chairs structurally sound with tight joints. Padded armrests for comfort. Neutral upholstery works now or serves as a canvas for your own fabric vision.
