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 an elegant carved crest 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 sheet
- Condition: the item is new, for display, produced with high-quality artisanal techniques that guarantee stability and flawless finishes.
- Age: contemporary production faithfully reinterpreting the aesthetic canons and proportions of the Louis XVI style.
- Material: fully solid beech wood construction, an excellent wood species for making art furniture thanks to its robustness and suitability for detailed carvings.
- Origin: a high-manufacture Italian product, crafted by master cabinetmakers according to the tradition of art furniture.
Dimensions
Elegant proportions designed to ensure an ergonomic and gentlemanly seating:
- Overall height: 103 cm
- Width: 56 cm
- Depth: 50 cm
- Seat height: 50 cm
Colors and finishes
- Frame: classic walnut finish that highlights the natural beauty of the wood, enriched with precious gold details on the crest, the connector knobs of the legs, and along the fluting.
- Upholstery: seat, backrest, and armrests are covered in a premium damask fabric in gold/champagne, characterized by a refined tone-on-tone floral medallion pattern that adds a warm, aristocratic luminosity.
Interior design tip: perfect as an accent armchair for an antique writing desk or an elegant entrance. The combination of dark wood and the gold reflections of the fabric makes it a timeless piece.
Note for bidders:
Because it is the result of manual craftsmanship, any small irregularity or nuance in the polishing, varnishing, or in the gold or silver leaf of our items should be considered a merit that attests to authenticity and artisanal character compared to mass-produced products.
Shipping price valid only for continental deliveries.
