A Set of four Louis XV cream and blue-painted mahogany fauteuils en cabriolet circa 1750, possibly Portuguese

each with a molded cartouche-shaped backrest carved with flowerheads and foliate scrolls, padded armrests on voluted supports, the serpentine-fronted loose cushion seat raised on cabriole legs; repainted cream and celadon.

The overall color slightly more cream and more attractive than in the catalogue illustration. In overall very good condition. With appropriate wear and losses to the paint, consistent with age and use. Marks and nail holes to the lower backs of the armchairs. Some legs have been reinforced with metal supports. With some small restorations. In otherwise good condition.
