PAIR of French Painted Three-Leg Louis XV Style Bergère Lounge Chairs | c. 1940

An exceptional decorative pair of French Louis XV-style bergère lounge chairs, dating to 1940s. Distinguished by their rare three-leg construction, these chairs reinterpret the elegance of 18th-century French seating with a whimsical and sculptural silhouette seldom encountered in the market.

Each chair features a hand-painted cream and parcel-gilt frame with a serpentine crest, gracefully curved arms, and carved floral and foliate details. The distinctive tripod form is highlighted by cabriole front legs and a single rear support, creating a surprisingly balanced and visually striking profile. Upholstered in a blue-green and ivory patterned textile with brass nailhead trim, the chairs offer generous proportions and deep, comfortable cushions suitable for both formal and casual interiors.
