A 18th century Louis XV walnut armchair – This chair has the typical Rococo design of the Louis XV era. A period when designers where inspired by natural fluent lines, comfort and joie de vivre. All tough much of the contemporary’s lived in poverty the French aristocracy, clergy and wealthy merchants aspired to imitate the frivolity and luxury of the court life. This chair was probably custom made for a Provincial aristocrat. It has unusual arm supports which tend to contemporary English design. The owner must have seen this in England and thought it to make a nice addition. All is original. On the seat is a natural flaw which gives it character. This piece is verry sturdy and can be used everyday.
Carved walnut frame with a floral theme (flowers and acanthus leaves on the armrests). Seat and backrest upholstered in original embossed leather and in good condition, which is extremely rare for its age.
Damage to one of the armrests
Excellent quality product with a superb patina
