A poetic survivor of early‑19th‑century French craftsmanship, this original Louis XV armchair. It captures the elegance, movement, and sculptural finesse that define the Rococo tradition. Its sinuous silhouette, cabriole legs, and delicately carved ornamentation reflect the enduring influence of 18th‑century design, still cherished and reinterpreted in the decades following the Revolution.
The wooden frame displays a beautifully aged patina, revealing traces of its original finish and the unmistakable hand of a skilled artisan. Floral carvings, scrolling motifs, and the characteristic fluidity of the Louis XV style give the chair a graceful presence even in its unrestored state. The open back and refined proportions speak to a period when comfort, artistry, and decorative flourish were seamlessly intertwined.
The chair currently awaits restoration, offering a rare opportunity for the future owner to shape its next chapter. The upholstery must be renewed, allowing complete freedom in selecting fabrics, trims, and finishes—whether a historically faithful damask, a sumptuous velvet, or a contemporary textile for a more eclectic contrast. Upholstery can be arranged independently by the client or carried out in collaboration with us, ensuring the final result aligns perfectly with personal taste and interior style.
Once restored, this armchair will reclaim its full splendour: a sculptural accent piece, a refined decorative object, and a testament to the enduring artistry of French furniture making.
