The Louis XVI Side Chair's design is a nod to the French pre-revolutionary times of pomp and circumstance - chivalry mattered and duels were fought on a whim. In the Courts and Chateau of France, this style was all the rage - a homage to the Sun King's tastes and aspirations for France as the global cultural center.

While it's technically a side chair, this particular example is a classy and well-proportioned chair that's perfect for a formal or more stylishly appointed room. It holds its own as a full-on statement piece. It's so versatile - it is perfect for the dining table, a breakfast table and also equally at home at the card or game table. This classy chair, with wood trim, will add a touch of class to any room decor.

Wisteria products are primarily handmade at small artisanal facilities in a traditional manner, in small batch quantities, or often as an individually made-to-order item if it is a part of our custom or bespoke program. Naturally - this means products may have variations between two items that may have been made in a separate batch or at a different time. Thus, minor imperfections are part of the patina for these products.

We want to share this with you so that you know what to expect and be proud of the uniqueness of your purchase. This is quintessential Wisteria and very much part of the DNA of us and our products. Several pieces in the line are also finished in a distressed or rustic style, and this style lends itself to showing off wood imperfections, distinct wood grains, and notches more readily than what a typical stain or finish would disguise. As patrons of the brand, we know you appreciate this difference - unlike many of our larger competitors who bring you factory-made products that are mass manufactured in state-of-the-art factories - we are focused on individual and small craftsmen for their artisanal skills that have been handed from generation to generation with a sense of passion and purpose.
