Paire de fauteuils de style Louis XVI au gris patiné

Un gris bleuté, usé jusqu'au bois par endroits, enveloppe ces deux fauteuils et adoucit la rigueur de leur dessin. Les montants cannelés du dossier, légèrement cintré, se terminent en fleurons tournés, les accotoirs sculptés en torsade reposent sur des consoles en balustre, et chaque dé de raccordement porte une rosace. Les pieds fuselés et cannelés sont bagués de perles. La garniture crème, tissée d'un motif losangé, porte des taches et une usure bien visibles. Sous la lumière, le bois nu qui affleure aux arêtes forme comme un second dessin.

Le style Louis XVI naît d'un regard porté sur l'Antiquité, nourri de Pompéi et d'Herculanum : lignes droites, pieds fuselés, dossiers plats dits à la reine ou creusés en cabriolet. Il connaît une seconde vie au XIXe siècle, lorsque le mobilier du Second Empire reflète le goût de l'impératrice Eugénie pour cette esthétique, puis à la Belle Époque. Datés du XXe siècle, classés Louis XVI et Directoire, ces fauteuils sont des sièges de style, non d'époque ; aucun atelier ni estampille n'est mentionné.

A bluish grey, worn through to the wood in places, envelops these two armchairs and softens the rigour of their design. The fluted uprights of the slightly curved back end in turned finials, the arms carved in a twist rest on baluster consoles, and each corner block carries a rosette. The tapering, fluted legs are ringed with beading. The cream upholstery, woven with a lozenge pattern, shows clearly visible stains and wear. Under the light, the bare wood surfacing along the edges reads like a second drawing.

The Louis XVI style was born of a gaze turned towards Antiquity, drawing on Pompeii and Herculaneum: straight lines, tapering legs, flat backs in the à la reine manner or hollowed in cabriolet form. It found a second life in the nineteenth century, when Second Empire furniture reflected the Empress Eugénie's taste for this aesthetic, and again in the Belle Époque. Dated to the twentieth century and classed as Louis XVI and Directoire, these armchairs are in the style, not of the period; no workshop or stamp is mentioned.
