Description from the seller

This is an antique armchair in the Louis XVI style with an Aubusson fabric upholstery.

Main Features
Style and Period: The Louis XVI style furniture features cleaner, more symmetric lines, with straight, fluted legs inspired by classical antiquity. Research findings suggest that chairs with these characteristics and Aubusson fabric often date to the late 19th century or early 20th century.
Material and Finish: The chair frame is made of carved and gilded wood.
Upholstery: The fabric is an Aubusson tapestry, known for its narrative scenes, often inspired by fairy tales or pastoral vignettes, as seen on the oval backrest (the fabric is original, never replaced).
Typical Dimensions: Similar specimens have dimensions around 100 cm in height, 64–67 cm in width, and 60–67 cm in depth.
