AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This Louis XVI style armchair perfectly embodies the balance and symmetry typical of French neoclassicism. It stands out for its medallion backrest, topped by a refined crest carved in gold leaf, and for the characteristic fluted spindle legs. The presence of padded armrests (arm supports) adds a higher level of comfort, making it a chair of great prestige.

Technical data
- Condition: the item is new, for display, produced with high-quality handcrafted techniques that ensure stability and impeccable finishes.
- Age: contemporary production faithfully revisiting the aesthetic rules and proportions of the Louis XVI style.
- Material: frame entirely made of solid beech wood, an excellent wood species for making art furniture thanks to its sturdiness and suitability for detailed carvings.
- Origin: high-end Italian craftsmanship, created by master cabinetmakers according to the tradition of art furniture.

Dimensions
Elegantly studied proportions to guarantee an ergonomic and dignified seating:
- Overall height: 103 cm
- Width: 56 cm
- Depth: 50 cm
- Seat height: 50 cm

Colors and finishes
- Frame: classic walnut finish, highlighting the natural beauty of the wood, enriched with precious gold details on the crest, on the leg connector knobs, and along the fluting.
- Upholstery: seat, backrest and armrests are covered in a noble damask fabric in gold/champagne, characterized by a refined tone-on-tone floral medallion pattern that emits a warm, aristocratic luminosity.

Interior design tip: perfect as an accent chair for an antique desk or a refined entryway. The combination of dark wood and the gold reflections of the fabric makes it a timeless piece.

Note for bidders:
Precisely because it is the product of manual craftsmanship, every small irregularity or shading in the finish, lacquer, or in the gold or silver leaf of our items should be considered a merit that attests to authenticity and the artisanal character compared to industrial products.

Shipping price valid only for continental deliveries.
