Magnificent vintage French Louis XVI Directoire style bergère chair composed of a petite walnut frame and upholstered in a red and gold Brunschwig & Fils Zambezi Grospoint Cut Velvet animal print fabric, with loose zippered seat and back cushion covers hosting feather down pillow inserts, swooped arms bearing carved groove details, straight turned and fluted front legs, and straight tapered square back legs with an outward splay. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, the fabric is in exceptional condition and the wood has a warm age patina. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 19th to Early 20th Century.
