A pair of carved walnut Louis XV style armchairs with every curve the style is loved for: an arched, shaped crest, padded arm rests on scrolling supports, a serpentine seat rail and slender cabriole legs. The frames carry a deep, warm patina, and the chairs are newly upholstered in Quercus & Co. Bower in Damson, a small-scale sprig in soft plum and blush that lets the carving lead. As happy flanking a fireplace as they are pulled up to a game table.
