About the Item

This exquisite French Louis XV style wingback armchair exemplifies the grandeur and artistry of Rococo design. Crafted with a finely carved walnut frame, the chair displays sweeping curves, acanthus leaf scrolls, and floral motifs that highlight the elegance and fluidity of 18th-century French craftsmanship. The tall winged back offers both a stately presence and practical comfort, originally designed to shield the sitter from drafts. Cabriole legs and richly detailed carvings along the seat rail and arms further reflect the refined sophistication of the Louis XV period. Upholstered in a luxurious cream damask fabric, the chair provides a soft contrast to the warm patina of the wood. The upholstery features subtle floral patterns that harmonize beautifully with the ornate carvings, creating a timeless and cohesive look. This piece works equally well as a statement armchair in a formal living room, a regal accent in a study, or as seating in a grand bedroom. It embodies both decorative artistry and comfort, making it an ideal addition for collectors and lovers of French antiques. 52 tall x 27.25 wide x 27.75 deep x seat height 20
