18th Century French Walnut Louis XV Style Fauteuil with Original Petit Point
Located in Louisville, KY
This mid 18th century French Louis XV walnut fauteuil with seemingly gloriously original upholstery portrays an exquisite petit-point that shows beautiful aging and a few minor areas that are reparable. The chair frame encompassing the padded back, arms, and serpentine-fronted seat apron are of rich walnut and are intricately hand carved revealing a floral crest in the center the top frame, flanked with stunningly done leaves that wrap the upper corners and continue down to the arms leading into the front seat apron with recessed gadroons along the way ultimately revealing a floral motif that continues on the crowns of the hipped cabriole legs that finish with a single scroll on pad bottoms. The overall wood of this chair is quite spectacular in that it seems to have the original rubbed finish which reveals the raw beauty of the wood and the patina flows beautifully into the wonderfully aged petit-point covering. This piece was part of a collection of a prominent Louisville family and spent a portion of its life in a stunning music conservatory as a piece of historic art beautifully positioned next to an antique baby grand piano.

Unique Chairs, Sofas and Other Seating for Sale on 1stDibs

With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.

Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.

Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.

The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.

Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.

With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.

Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.

No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
