French Dining Chairs

Nothing adds that je ne sais quoi to your dining room like a fabulously chic French dining chair. Travel back to the time of kings with one of the many French style dining chairs attributed to French royalty. As we like to say, you can’t go wrong with any chair named after a Louis! Louis XIII favored straight backs, while Louis XV introduced curved forms and comfort. For those of us who have always dreamed of living at Versailles, a set of Louis XIV French dining chairs with interesting inlays or patterned upholstery will make you feel like you’re eating at the Royal Table (though in fact, the king’s guests all sat on folding stools for the meal—who knew?) Channel your inner Marie-Antoinette, who was known for entertaining and excess, with a set of élégant Louis XVI or Neoclassical French dining chairs encircling a massive dining table for your guests. Let them eat cake! Fashionistas, create a haute couture feel by choosing oval-back dining chairs upholstered in a vibrant pattern. Pattern adverse? Achieve the same interest by opting for cream upholstered French dining chairs in an array of different shapes. If you're looking for a French dining chair that's a bit less formal (and if your ideal pastime is sitting in a French café chair while people watching and sipping un café), woven bistro chairs might be just the answer. A pair of woven French bistro chairs will instantly transport you to Paris, even if you’re in your own kitchen. Move the French café chairs outside to emulate the café terrace for the most en pointe tea party in the neighborhood. C’est magnifique!
