A striking pair of late 19th century French Louis XIII style armchairs, sourced in Provence, France, defined by their sculptural os de mouton form and strong architectural presence. Crafted in solid oak, the chairs feature boldly carved frames with pronounced os de mouton (sheep bone) legs and sculptural, undulating stretchers to all sides - a hallmark of the Louis XIII tradition. The arms are deeply carved and expressive, giving the chairs a grounded, almost monolithic character while maintaining balanced proportions. The frames show hand-shaped character throughout, with visible pegged joinery and a rich, naturally aged patina that highlights the depth and movement of the wood grain. Recently restored and newly upholstered in a dusty blue and white sateen stripe, the fabric carries a subtle sheen that contrasts beautifully with the darker oak. The upholstery is crisply tailored, finished with bias-cut piping that adds a refined, custom detail while softening the linearity of the stripe. Solid, stable, and ready for use.
