18th Century French Louis XV Antique Gray Painted Fauteuil Armchair

About the Item

French Louis XV worn dark-gray painted fauteuil. circa late 18th-early 19th century; with parcel gold highlights Item # 008EXP26I-2 A gorgeous painted fauteuil of the Louis XV period, this delightful chair has a historical surface of many layers, having been painted and touched up numerous times over the years. The old cracks and repairs show remnants of earlier paints and grime, each layer telling a different story of ownership. True to the craftsmanship of the era, where objects made were expected to last indefinitely if well-cared for, most stress joints are locked firmly in place with little wooden pegs. These are driven through the tenon joint and supplement the hide-glue for a more permanent joint. The surface is predominantly a dark-gray painted surface with parcel gilt highlights to the crest florals and the relief carvings of the knees, toes and apron, all of which have darkened over the years and now nearly meld with the overall chair. It was upholstered recently in a very high quality modern linen with only the most minor of use indicators/spots. This is a chair that lives on and still serves with great function and great comfort with sturdy joints and a clean modern finish. It is a Fine addition both to the traditional and modern interior. Note, we acquired these as a set of four and are selling them individually. We may have three other matching fauteuils to this still available in the shop. Measurements: 36 1/8" H x 24 1/4" W x 25" D x approx. 17" H to seat. Condition report: Extensive wear to the surface with paint loss throughout; numerous layers of paint, original surface color unknown; old inactive pest damage throughout; old repairs/cracks/etc. that are now tight and sturdy. Wood loss to inner edge of the back of the seat-back near right arm; left arm with a joint separation (still very tight); Upholstery in good condition with only minor spots/use indicators.
