Tufted Silk Damask Louis XV Style Bergere Chair

About the Item

This French Louis XV Bergère style armchair is a masterpiece of craftsmanship from the early 19th century. The hand-molded frame and barrel back exhibit meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the artistry of pinned mortise and tenon construction. The frame retains its original giltwood finish, giving off a subtle red hue under warm lighting. Adorned in its original champagne-hued silk damask fabric, the chair features horse-hair cushions that provide both comfort and authenticity. The fabric is meticulously tacked into place with nailhead trim, highlighting the chair's elegant contours and lines. Resting gracefully on short cabriole feet, this armchair embodies the timeless elegance of the Louis XV style, making it a captivating and sophisticated addition to any interior space. Found in France, early 19th century. Solid wood construction frame. The original fabric is worn in a few areas, has a small tear at the seat cushion, and shows light staining. The giltwood surface shows areas of minor loss. The chair is sturdy and very comfortable, but it does sit lower to the ground than most chairs. Overall wear is consistent with age and use. Approximately 28” W x 29” D x 38” H. Floor to seat approximately 15” H.
