An elegant pair of antique French Louis XVI style gilt timber chairs, featuring finely carved frames with decorative floral crests, beaded borders, carved rosettes and classical fluted tapering legs. The chairs have been newly reupholstered in beautiful French linen supplied by Chanel, with generously padded seats, upholstered rectangular backs and matching linen double piping. The natural linen provides a beautiful contrast against the original gilt finish. These chairs were featured in Chanel’s Cruise 2026/27 runway presentation, held on 5 November 2026 at The Cutaway in Barangaroo, Sydney. The event marked Chanel’s first Australian runway show. The chairs retain wear consistent with age and use, including minor marks and areas of gilt loss, adding to their character and history. A beautiful opportunity to acquire a pair of antique French chairs with a connection to one of the world’s most celebrated fashion houses. Sold as a pair.
