Massant / Chairs without Arms / Louis XVI L16TA2
Product details
Reproduction of antique model. Louis XVI Chair caned a la d’Artois, circa 1775-1780. Original: collection of an antiquarian in Namur (Belgium).
This very fine model with its circular seat and medaillon back comes from the first Paris chairs in the Louis XVI style. The fine carving of the arched rail, the acanthus at the ends of the turned legs, and the ribbon around the splat decorate this model very happily. The size of the knot of ribbon, which was very fashionable at that time, bears witness to the emergence of the Louis XVI style while adding a great deal of charm. The proportions of the tapering of the legs are excellent.
The en cabriolet shape of the splat provides good support for the user’s back. Louis XVI Style French style period reverting to classicism, inspired by the straight lines of ancient Greece and Rome, from 1777 to 1790, corresponding roughly to the reign of Louis XVI (1774 – 1793). The period, and the intermediate styles coming in between Louis XV and Louis XVI are known as “transitional” in the trade and “neoclassical” by researchers.
