A stunning antique Louis XVI oval-back armchair with beautifully aged leather, worn in the best possible way. The frame retains its original painted finish—a muted sage/cream with warm undertones and time-softened edges. The leather has reached that rare level of patina collectors prize: softened, crackled, and rich with depth, yet still intact and usable.
Fluted legs, scroll arms, and nailhead accents maintain the historic integrity of the piece. The proportions, craftsmanship, and aging suggest late 19th–early 20th century French origin.
This is the type of chair designers hunt for: authentic, soulful, and immediately visually elevating. Works seamlessly in layered European, farmhouse modern, rustic modern, Wabi-Sabi, traditional, or eclectic interiors.
