Pair of cabriolets stamped NOGARET, circa 1750

Pair of cabriolet armchairs with wide seats
Lyonnais work from the Louis XV period, circa 1750
In solid walnut, with curved violin-shaped backs, finely carved with small flowers and acanthus leaves.

The whiplash-shaped arm supports, the carved curved rails, and the moulded cabriole legs all testify to the quality of their execution.

Both cabriolets bear the stamp “NOGARET À LYON” on the rear uprights.

The upholstery has been entirely redone by a professional.
Beautiful original patina.
Usual restoration.
In very good condition.
