Pair of chairs of 'Louis' style, part of a salon suite of which the armchair (W.4-1974) also forms a part. The chairs are mahogany and the design combines motifs fashionable under both Louis XV and Louis XVI, and also show the influence of Chippendale. The chairs have thin cabriole legs at the front, and raked, rectangular-sectioned rear legs. The back splat is carved and pierced. The seats, which are sprung, are upholstered in pink silk damask of a rococo design, outlined on the lower edge with a pink silk gimp.
