8 Lee Industries Louis XVI Custom Oval Back Side Chairs

Set of Eight Lee Industries Custom Louis XVI Oval Back Side Chairs with Hand-Painted Peacock Feather Backs, Circa 2000s-2010s

Dimensions: Height 38.25 inches, Width 19 inches, Depth 19.5 inches (each chair)

This exceptional set of eight custom dining chairs represents American craftsmanship at its finest, blending the timeless elegance of French Louis XVI design with contemporary artistry and Lee Industries' renowned commitment to quality. Each chair features the classic oval medallion back that defined French furniture during the late 18th century reign of Louis XVI—a period when Marie Antoinette's patronage brought neoclassical restraint and Greco-Roman symmetry to Versailles. The oval back, also called a "medallion" shape, became the signature silhouette of this era, replacing the ornate curves of Louis XV Rococo with clean lines and geometric grace. Here, that traditional form becomes a canvas for remarkable hand-painted artistry: each ebonized wood back is adorned with exquisite peacock feather motifs rendered in luminous blues, greens, and golds that capture the iridescent beauty of nature's most dramatic plumage.

The artisanal quality evident in every detail speaks to Lee Industries' heritage as one of North Carolina's premier furniture makers. Founded in 1969 in Newton, North Carolina, Lee has built its reputation on handcrafted quality, environmental responsibility, and made-in-America values, with 98 percent of components sourced domestically. Each of these chairs showcases the company's dedication to traditional upholstery techniques, as evidenced by the craftsmanship label proudly displayed—signed by the individual artisans who brought these pieces to life, from cutter to sewer to trimmer to upholsterer and inspector. The frames feature the characteristic elements of Louis XVI style: straight, tapered legs that echo classical columns, and graceful proportions that balance visual lightness with structural integrity. The seats are upholstered in a sophisticated cream-colored fabric with a subtle textured weave, providing both comfort and elegance while allowing the spectacular painted backs to command attention. The peacock feather decoration—applied by hand to the ebonized wood—transforms these from simple dining chairs into works of decorative art, each one a statement piece that brings drama and personality to the dining table.
