A pair of large Louis XVI gilt-wood armchairs,
medallion-shaped backs carved with leaves and
ornaments, curved fluted arms, round, tapered
and fluted legs. One stamped C. Chevigny.
France, late 18th century. (2).
Claude Chevigny was accredited master in 1768. Chevigny's
style of chair design was always simple in its
outline but sophisticated in its detail. He maintained
his preference for the Louis XVI fashion and refined
the neo-classical detail with particularly elegant squared
and oval backs usually with both reeded and fluted
detailing which was repeated on seat frames and legs.
This sophistication gained him many aristocratic clients,
such as the Duc de Choiseul at the Château de
Chanteloup and the Duke of Montmorency.
Similar armchairs made by Chevigny at the Louvre in
Paris and the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
