Louis XVI Dining Chair with Twisted Rope Legs & Damask Upholstery (Without Arms)
Design Inspiration
Rooted in the refined elegance of Louis XVI France, this dining chair captures the neoclassical spirit of the late 18th century — a period defined by symmetry, restrained ornamentation, and graceful proportion. The dramatically vivid green lacquer frame is an homage to the vibrant court interiors of Versailles, reimagined by the master craftsmen at Brass & Wood for the modern connoisseur.
Materials & Finish
The solid-wood frame is finished in a bold, high-gloss emerald green lacquer, punctuated throughout by hand-applied gold-leaf detailing on the beading border, leg capitals, and foot sabots. The oval medallion back and generous seat are upholstered in a lustrous ivory-and-sage damask fabric whose intricate floral and foliate motifs recall the finest French silk-weaving traditions.
Craftsmanship
Every element is handcrafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood artisans trained in European classical techniques. The signature twisted rope legs — each individually carved and turned — echo the barley-twist columns beloved of Louis XVI interiors. Gold-leaf bead moulding frames both the back panel and the seat apron, adding an opulent finishing flourish that elevates this piece to heirloom status.
