The carved frame and the needlework-style tapestry make it a regal seat in the style of the court. The Louis XV style takes its name from the French king who reigned from 1715 to 1774, and its taste for curved lines and graceful ornament, known as Rococo, shaped French furniture for generations. Provincial workshops kept the cabriole leg and the shaped apron alive long after the court had moved on. A natural patina has developed over the decades, adding depth that cannot be reproduced. Placed in a living room, library or bedroom, it offers comfort with real presence and sits happily alongside both antique and modern pieces.
