Louis XVI Hand-Carved Solid Wood Dining Chair with Gold Gilt & Velvet Upholstery (Without Arms)

Design Inspiration

Drawing from the refined elegance of the Louis XVI court, this dining chair embodies the neoclassical ideal: disciplined symmetry softened by ornate hand-carved detail. The gently arched backrest medallion, the fluted uprights, and the delicately scrolled apron speak to an era when furniture was considered fine art. Brass & Wood's Cairo atelier faithfully revives every nuance of this eighteenth-century masterwork for today's most discerning interiors.

Materials & Finish

The frame is constructed from dense, kiln-dried solid wood chosen for its tight grain and exceptional carving response. Every surface is finished in a warm gold leaf gilt that catches candlelight and ambient illumination alike, creating a luminous presence at any dining table. The seat and inner back panel are upholstered in deep, crush-resistant velvet, combining tactile luxury with practical durability.

Craftsmanship

Each chair is shaped entirely by hand — master carvers trace every acanthus leaf, every rosette, and every fluted column by chisel before the piece passes to gilders who apply genuine gold-toned finish in successive layers. No two chairs are perfectly identical, making each a unique original. The upholstery is hand-fitted with precision, ensuring taut, crease-free panels that age gracefully.
