| Set of Four 20th Century Directoire-Style Mahogany and Parcel Gilt Bergeres, each with foliate carved rounded crests and continuous arms terminating in Ram's heads, with a shaped carved seat rail, rosette corners, foliate carved, tapered legs ending in button feet, H:32" W:23" D:19". The Directoire style was primarily established by the architects and designers Charles Percier (1764–1838) and Pier François Léonard Fontaine (1762–1853). In its use of Neoclassical architectural form and decorative motifs the style anticipates the slightly later Empire style. The Directoire Style is distinctive for use of neoclassical architectural forms, minimal carving, planar expanses of highly grained veneers, and applied decorative painting. In these four decorative chairs we see examples of the neoclassical influence. The chairs have been newly upholstered and are very comfortable besides having an elegance appearance for any decor.
