Product Description
A Fantastic and Rare Pair of 18th Century Louis XVI Period French Marquises. Each with a straight ribbon-wrapped reed crestrail with circular foliate-decorated finial to each corner, with guilloche-carved arms and scrolled arm supports, centered by a flower, covered with grey and off-white-toned silk above a guilloche-carved seatrail, on petarae-headed tapering stop-fluted legs.
Marquises of this style, age, quality, craftsmanship, and condition are extremely rare to find.

The size of these is also stupendous, with a variety of practical applications that these can be used for in all aspects of a home.
