A refined pair of 19th-century French Napoleon III crapaud armchairs, sourced in Provence, France. Handcrafted with solid frames, each chair embodies the classic “his and hers” silhouette - one slightly larger and more commanding, the other more petite -together forming a complementary set. The enveloping oval backs flow into scrolled arms and deep seats, offering comfort while maintaining the elegance of Second Empire design. Upholstered in the original buttercream-ochre velvet, the chairs display a soft cut-pile texture with tonal depth, finished with tailored piping and discreet hand stitching. Full bullion-fringe skirts conceal turned ebonized legs, adding a note of decorative luxury. Structurally sound, the pair presents with age-appropriate wear and fading to the velvet, consistent with their history and character.

The chairs arrived securely wrapped and are of such a high quality not available through any retailer since I’ve been looking for over 2 years at crate & barrel, west elm, etc.It was a leap of faith buying chairs without sitting on them; my husband thought I was crazy but no more. THANKS!”

“I LOVE my French provincial table I received from this store! As other reviewers I also had the pleasure of working with Ivan who provided excellent customer service which I have found hard to come by these days. He was very communicative, professional and proactively would update you without you ever having to check in on anything. The delivery service was great which was another fear I had about shipping a large piece of furniture from out of state and another thing I have had bad experiences with. I would highly recommend this store. Thank you for your great service!”

French Country Provincial Pine Farmhouse Dining Table
“I had a moment when I first saw this piece! From then on it continued to be easy. Right after purchasing it, Ivan acknowledged the sale and informed me about the proposed delivery schedule and the shipper's name. The shipper, Marek, contacted me well before delivery. We live north of nowhere and Marek made the delivery on time on a Sunday! He's very professional and careful: the piece had blankets all over it! When I saw the piece it was even more beautiful than in the photo and it was a good photo! StandOutSpaces is an excellent company with which to do business. Thank you Ivan! All the Best! From a very happy customer!”

“I Found Everything about this Vendor to be Excellent Without Question. The Service, Exceptional, True to His Word, the Delivery Time was Quick, and Even at this Time of Year. The Quality of the Furniture, Impeccable, Well Above My Expectations. I’m sure most of us shopping online face a bit of apprehension, particularly with high dollar items, just as I did. I must honestly admit I was quite taken back when I actually saw my purchase upon delivery, well above what I previously envisioned. I would not hesitate to shop this Vendor’s Wares again when the need arises. Top Notch in My Opinion, Thank You!”
