This elegant pair of French bergères reflects the mid–19th-century reinterpretation of Louis XV forms, emphasizing comfort and domestic ease. The chairs feature finely proportioned cabriole legs, a shallow serpentine apron, and frames designed to accommodate generously plumped loose cushions—hallmarks of refined Second Empire era seating.
Acquired from A Collection of Furnishings and Objects from the Works of Michael S. Smith (Stair Galleries), the chairs originate from the personal collection and projects of the renowned American interior designer. They have been sensitively restored and newly upholstered in an exceptional Lewis & Wood textile, finished with a tailored braided flat trim, in the tradition of Henri Samuel.
Dimensions: 30”W x 36”D x 34”H, 17.5”SD, 24”SH
