Petite Stamped Louis XVI Beechwood Armchair w/ Médaillon Back & Beige Upholstery

This elegant Louis XVI armchair, stamped by Denis Delaissement and dating to circa 1770, is a fine and authenticated example of 18th-century French neoclassical furniture. Crafted in carved beechwood, the frame features fluted legs, scroll arms, and a médaillon-shaped backrest, an iconic silhouette of the Louis XVI period. The stamp signifies that it was made under the guild regulations of the time, ensuring its authenticity and craftsmanship. The chair has been reupholstered in a refined, natural linen that complements the structure’s clean lines and aged patina.

This fauteuil exemplifies the classical elegance of the late 18th century, when furniture design shifted toward architectural precision and symmetry. The oval back and straight, fluted legs reflect the influence of antiquity, while the overall lightness of form keeps it approachable and versatile. Its comfortable proportions and understated ornamentation make it suitable not only as a historical piece but also as a functional part of modern-day interiors. The newly upholstered linen adds freshness while preserving the character of the woodwork.

Perfect in a serene reading corner with a soft throw and a cushion in pale silk or antique floral print, it also pairs beautifully with a marble-topped Louis XVI console and a gilt mirror to reinforce a classical ambiance. Alternatively, juxtapose it with a sleek modern side table and minimalist lighting for a chic, curated look. Whether used in a living room, bedroom, or hallway, this fauteuil brings a distinguished, historic charm.
