A set of four French-style dining chairs in the Louis XIII / Os de Mouton manner, comprising two armchairs (fauteuils) and two side chairs. (Images 6 and 7 show all four together; the apparent eight are the four chairs photographed from both front and back.) Frames are solid hardwood (likely oak or beech) with a warm walnut-toned finish. The defining structural feature is the os de mouton ("sheep bone") leg and stretcher system—the front legs and serpentine H-stretcher are carved in the characteristic undulating, scrolled bone shape associated with mid-to-late 17th-century French provincial seating. The two armchairs feature boldly scrolled, sweeping open arms terminating in rolled volute hand-holds, supported on scroll-form arm posts. Backs are tall and upright with a gently arched, camel-topped crest rail. The upholstery is the strongest decorative element: a verdure/millefleurs tapestry-style fabric in the medieval mille-fleurs tradition (evocative of the Unicorn Tapestries / Cluny style). The ground is dark—near-black to deep forest green—densely worked with stylized flowering plants, berries, and scattered woodland animals in cream, taupe, and gold: rabbits/hares, greyhound-like hounds, and small deer or fawns. Accent blooms appear in dusty rose, mauve, salmon, and pale blue. Seats and both faces of the backs are fully covered, so the chairs present finished on the reverse and are suitable for floating placement. Accompanying the set are coordinating accent pillows in distinct tapestry panels—one with a single large seated hare in profile, another with a collared hound—drawn from the same design family.
Each chair measures approximately 43 in. high × 24 in. deep × 22.5 in. wide.
