Pair of 19th Century Louis XV-Style Giltwood Fauteuils in Rose Damask Velvet

Step into a gilded age of French opulence with this exquisite pair of 19th century Louis XV-style fauteuils, hand-selected by Belle Maison founders Katie and Carolyn during their sourcing trip to the legendary Les Puces de Saint-Ouen flea market in Paris.

Crafted in the unmistakable Louis XV style, these fauteuils (open-arm chairs) showcase gracefully carved giltwood frames, complete with cabriole legs, floral motifs, and scrolling armrests that embody the refined elegance of 18th-century Rococo design. The frames are richly patinated with age, adding character and authenticity to the original gilded finish.

Each chair is upholstered in a deep rose damask velvet, woven with intricate florals in a muted gold that catches the light beautifully. The fabric is likely a more recent reupholstery, but the pattern and palette echo the grandeur of the original period. Whether styled in a formal living space, flanking a fireplace, or as statement seating in a boutique or bedroom, these chairs offer both comfort and history.

We love how the luxurious upholstery plays off the ornate rug and antique holiday decor—these are pieces that will carry you through every season with timeless French charm.
