Paire de grandes bergères à dossier gondole en hêtre sculpté d’époque Louis XV

le dossier sommé de fleurettes, le dossier et l'assise à fond de canne, le fond du dossier garni en plus de velours vert, reposant sur des petits pieds cambrés ; (laquées à l’origine ; un coussin de velours vert manquant)

Illustration is slightly too clear. As visible on the picture, the upholstery is extremely worn and needs to be redone (one cushion missing), but the canned parts are in good condition. Structure is sound and sturdy; one metal stem to strengthen the structure underneath one seat. The beechwood has been stripped out (was originally lacquered). Scattered patched holes filled in on the seat edges. Few scratches, dents and marks all throughout the surface due to age and handling, expecially on the feet with minor chips to the carving. Very large and attractive proportions, rare model.
