Swedish Gustavian Mirror, circa 1810 — Original Mercury Glass & Gilt Frame
A study in symmetry and restraint.
The Collector's Piece
A pair of Louis XVI fauteuils, 20th century. Painted wood frames, striped upholstery, the quiet restraint of neoclassical form.
The silhouette is classic—clean lines, shaped arms, a gently curved back. The striped textile adds structure without competing. Raised on tapered legs, the frames maintain an elegant, light profile.
From a Palm Beach estate where they flanked a Venetian mirror for forty years. The kind of chairs you pull up to a desk and forget to leave.
Pull them to a desk. Flank a console. Frame a fireplace. Wherever symmetry matters.
Condition
Paint shows honest wear at the arms where hands rested. Upholstery has softened with age but remains intact. Frames are solid—no wobble, no repairs.
