About the Item

Original early 18th century French recliner still retaining its fine 17th century aubusson upholstery, you're thinking no way, there must be a typo. Well, trust me, there are no typos in this description. Our store buyers scour France, England, Spain and Italy to find unique, uncommon antiques to share with you, our loyal customers. This striking chair not only has a phenomenal appearance but, it is extremely comfortable. Wherever you find to display this museum quality antique chair, you'd better be sure it is easily accessible for relaxation and a well deserved nap. To date, most original antiques like this are scooped up by museums and collectors alike, this is a very rare opportunity to own something very special! There is sometimes confusion regarding the difference between a needlepoint pillow and an aubusson pillow. At first glance they can appear similar, but they are actually very different. Needlepoint work is created on a canvas by looping yarn through the canvas with a needle. Aubusson work however uses no canvas. The aubusson piece is actually a flat weave tapestry, where many threads are interwoven to create a beautiful piece. "Aubusson" actually refers to a town by the same name in France, the original center of production of tapestry and tapestry-weave carpets and wall embellishments since the mid 17th century. Today, "Aubusson" products are also manufactured outside of the french town. These Aubusson products are among the most highly desired, the most luxurious pieces one can adorn their home with. Decorators and designers often choose Aubusson pillows because they add a rich texture and incredible detail. Colors are often bright and vibrant. Wool yarns and silk yarns are used to create these stunning works of art. These products are usually more expensive due to the amount of intricate work and detail needed to create each piece. Provenance: -Collection of Fern Bedaux, Château de Candé, Touraine -Auction of his estate, 1972. Towers. -Castle of the Lion, Preuilly on Claise, Touraine. -Château de Mardelle, Indre. This furniture related with Louis XIII resided at The Château de Candé in Touraine, and was utilized in the marriage reception of Edward VII and Wallis Simpons, future Prince and Princess of Wales on June 3, 1937.
