AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
It is a Louis XVI‑style chair with a lyre back. Although the original design dates from the late 18th century, this particular model appears to be a high‑quality reproduction dating from the late 19th century (Napoleon III period or the Belle Époque) or the early 20th century.
Main features
The Lyre Back: The central element shaped like a musical instrument is one of the most refined motifs of the Louis XVI style. It symbolized the taste for antiquity and the arts.
Ornamentation: You can observe gilt details either leafed or painted in gold, notably rows of beads (the small gold dots) on the frame, typical of Neoclassicism.
The Pedestal/Legs: Although the bottom isn’t visible in the photo, these chairs usually have tapered and fluted feet (straight with vertical grooves), imitating Greek columns.
Upholstery: The floral pattern of the seat is more recent (probably mid‑20th century). The fabric shows marked wear along the left edge, which will require reupholstering to restore its full luster.
