Its pale French-gray paint finish is perfectly worn and aged. A rush seat makes it casual, less formal. The seat cushion and arm rests are upholstered in a sexy leopard print velvet, a must have for all fashionistas! A thick silky-corduroyed velvet, very luxurious. This type of couture velvet is getting harder and harder to find with limited availability and demanding price points, upwards of $1,500/yd. (with two-yard minimums.) This fauteuil chair has Parisian high-style and lived-in French-Provincial charm! A treasured find for collectors and interior design enthusiasts. As a Curator and Interior Designer, these are the timeless qualities I seek – knowing it will transcend time, always in style, never trendy.

Please note - while this antique chair is comfortable, it's best suited as an accent piece, ideal for a foyer, hallway, or as a secondary chair.
