About the Item

This exquisite French Louis XVI needlepoint fauteuil armchair in walnut, circa 1890, is a timeless piece that beautifully blends fine craftsmanship with refined elegance. The chair features a carved walnut frame with classical Louis XVI details, including fluted legs, rosettes at the corners, and a shaped crest rail that adds architectural balance. The seat, back, and armrests are upholstered in hand-stitched floral needlepoint tapestry, richly detailed with soft shades of cream, blush, and rose, creating a romantic and inviting look. The fauteuil’s design exemplifies the neoclassical spirit of the late 18th century, interpreted here in a late 19th-century execution. Its proportions are generous yet graceful, making it ideal as an accent chair in a formal living room, a study, or a refined bedroom setting. The needlepoint upholstery retains its antique charm and complements the warm patina of the walnut frame, which has developed a rich, lustrous tone over more than a century. Perfect for collectors of fine French antiques, this Louis XVI fauteuil armchair offers both beauty and functionality. It is sturdy, elegant, and versatile—a decorative piece that embodies the grandeur and craftsmanship of late 19th-century French design while providing comfortable seating.
