Elegant Louis XV inspired armchair à la reine, made in France at the beginning of the 20th century. The structure, made of carved oak, features sinuous lines on its cabriole legs, curved arms and a wavy molding that runs along the entire frame. The à la reine model is distinguished by its straight backrest, designed to provide greater poise and comfort.
The upholstery, renewed in a sober grayish tone, contrasts with the light patina of the washed wood, giving it a modern look without losing its classic charm. This piece combines sophistication with functionality, making it a perfect choice for both more traditional and contemporary interiors.
The armchair à la reine is a type of seating that is characteristic of 18th century French furniture, associated with the Louis XV style. It is distinguished by its straight back (unlike the à cabriolet, which is curved), open arms and curved cabriole-shaped legs. It was a lounge chair, designed for high society women, combining elegance and comfort. See less
