Brass & Wood Louis XVI Classic Dining Chair

Design & Inspiration

Inspired by the refined neoclassical elegance of the Louis XVI era, this dining chair by Brass & Wood captures the graceful symmetry and restrained ornamentation that defined late 18th-century French court furniture. The distinctive shield-shaped back with its carved floral crest rail and rope-twist border is a faithful homage to the period's most celebrated cabinetmakers.

Materials & Finish

The solid wood frame is finished in a hand-rubbed antique white, lending an heirloom quality to every piece. The upholstery showcases a sumptuous damask fabric in warm ivory tones, with a subtly embossed floral pattern that catches the light beautifully. Rope-trim detailing runs along the seat and back borders, underscoring the chair's artisanal character.

Craftsmanship

Each chair is individually handcrafted in Cairo by skilled artisans trained in classical European joinery. The fluted, tapered legs are carved with ribboned floral motifs, and the carved crest rail at the top of the back features a delicate rose-and-foliage composition — details that elevate this piece beyond mere reproduction into the realm of decorative art.

Available Arm Type Options

This configurable chair is available in two arm type variants: With Arms (fauteuil style, with elegantly scrolled carved armrests) and Without Arms (side chair style, ideal for closer table placement). Both variants share the same frame, upholstery, and carving details.
