Brass & Wood Louis XVI Shield-Back Dining Chair in Ivory Damask & Warm Walnut Stain (Without Arms)

Design Inspiration

Rooted in the refined elegance of Louis XVI neoclassicism, this dining chair captures the spirit of late 18th-century French court furniture. The distinctive shield-shaped back — a hallmark of the period — rises gracefully above a generously padded seat, balancing symmetry with understated grandeur. Every curve and carved rosette reflects the era's love of classical order and delicate ornament.

Materials & Finish

The frame is crafted from solid fine hardwood finished in a rich warm walnut stain, lending depth and warmth to the piece. The upholstery showcases a sumptuous ivory damask fabric whose woven floral motif catches the light beautifully. Antique gold brass nailhead trim lines the perimeter of both the back panel and seat, adding a jewel-like finishing touch.

Craftsmanship

Each chair is made to order by Brass & Wood artisans in Cairo. The fluted, tapered front legs are hand-turned and terminate in small bun feet, while carved rosette blocks accent the seat rail corners. The shield back panel is individually upholstered and fitted with precision, ensuring a seamless join between fabric and solid wood frame. No factory branding is applied — every piece leaves the workshop as a pure expression of the maker's craft.
