Claude Javoy, Master in 1779 Set of Four Louis XVI Cabriolet Armchairs Period in Painted Beech

This set of four cabriolet armchairs with trapeze backs, crafted from molded, carved, and painted beechwood, retains its original lacquer and embodies the excellence of French cabinetmaking at the end of the 18th century. Their design, combining robustness and refinement, is distinguished by harmonious lines and meticulously crafted structure. Stamped C.I.Y.M by Master craftsman Claude Javoy, these armchairs reflect exceptional craftsmanship and a remarkable artisan legacy.

Width: 22 ⅞ in (58 cm)

Seat depth: 20 ½ in (52 cm)

Condition:
In fine condition, these armchairs are ready to enhance a discerning interior, combining authenticity and timeless elegance. Their silk upholstery, gently aged over time, adds character and softness to their classic appearance.

Biography:
Claude Javoy, who became a Master on September 29, 1779, initially worked on Rue d’Argenteuil in Paris before settling in Nantes around 1783, on Rue des Hauts-Pavés. His arrival provoked hostility from local craftsmen, who sued him in 1787—a case he won. The C.I.Y.M stamp, attributed to Claude Javoy (or Cavoy), has been found alone or alongside other stamps on chairs of various styles, highlighting the complexity of its attribution and the richness of his legacy.
