Louis VVI Armchair

The armchair is a classic example of the Louis XVI style, sometimes referred to as a bergère armchair or wingback chair, with a French neoclassical influence. Key characteristics of this style visible in the chair include: Neoclassical Design: The style is known for its clean lines, geometric shapes, and symmetry, which was a reaction to the more ornate Rococo style of the Louis XV era. Fluted Legs: The chair has straight, tapered legs with vertical grooves, or fluting, which resemble classical columns. Restrained Carvings: While still decorative, the carvings on a Louis XVI style chair are more refined and less extravagant than previous styles. Common motifs include rosettes, laurel wreaths, and acanthus leaves, as seen on this chair's frame. Upholstery: Louis XVI chairs often have comfortable, padded seats and backs, sometimes upholstered in fabrics with floral patterns or damask, which aligns with the blue, patterned upholstery on this piece. $100 represents initial ask price Please submit your Best and Final Offer.🙏
