AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Design description:
Splendid armchair in Louis XV style, characterized by the classic sinuous lines and refined "rocaille" motifs. The wooden frame is entirely hand-carved with floral decorations on the upper cresting and on the knees of the legs, which feature the typical "en cabriole" shape ending in a scroll.

Finish and Upholstery:
The structure has a gilded finish that adds light and significance to the piece. The seat and backrest are generously padded and upholstered in a precious mustard/gold yellow velvet, fixed with a coordinating tasselled trim that highlights its perimeter.

Condition:
The item presents excellent aesthetic and structural condition. The fabric is well stretched, free of tears or significant stains. The structure is solid. There are very light signs of wear on the gilding (small losses or superficial patinas) that attest to its age and authentic character (please carefully view the detail photos).
