Set of four side chairs 1755 - 1770

This set of four side chairs, created by French cabinetmaker Jean-Baptiste Gourdin between 1755 and 1770, exemplifies the elegance and refinement of the Louis XV style. The chairs feature intricate carving, particularly on the cabriole legs, and are upholstered in a delicate floral pattern. Their graceful curves and delicate details showcase the craftsmanship of the Rococo period, and the chairs now reside in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
