Louis XVI style chair, dotted fabric

I’m starting to search for our dining chairs, and I’m set Louis XVI style chairs for our dining room.  They look great when paired with either a traditional table or a modern one.  Since they are so elegant and often feature elaborate wood work, they look good a simple side chair in any room of the house.  Louis XVI style, also known as Neoclassical style, is a style period from approximately 1750-1800 characterized by lean, understated lines.  The style came about as a rejection to the ornamentation of the previous Baroque period.

Stephen Sills interiors seem to emanate a glow from within that grant the spaces an understated glamour.  His Interiors evoke ease for everyday living.  They look updated without being too trendy while classic without rendering in cliché or boredom.  This beautiful apartment on Fifth Avenue was gutted to the core and then redone completely by Architect John B. Murray.  One of the main intentions was not to interrupt the fantastic view of Central Park and to display the extended owners’ art collection.  You can see the rest of this beautiful apartment at AD.
