About the Item

Combining the elegance of a Louis XV-style silhouette with a distinctly modern flair, this vintage upholstered armchair stands out with its bold calligraphy-patterned fabric. Crafted with an elegant silhouette, the chair features a gently arched and channel-tufted back, gracefully curved arms, and cabriole legs ending in scrolled feet. The hardwood frame—likely walnut or a similarly dense wood—displays hand-carved floral motifs along the apron and knees, adding texture and visual interest. The wood retains a rich, dark finish with a soft sheen, contrasting beautifully with the lighter upholstery. The fabric, likely a more recent update, makes a bold impression with its abstract ovoid pattern and gold calligraphy-inspired motif. The repetition of these stylized script-like forms lends a contemporary edge, creating an unexpected pairing with the traditional French form. The muted palette of cream, gold, pale pink, and taupe allows the piece to work in both richly layered and minimalist interiors. Measuring 28 inches wide by 33 inches deep, with a comfortable 17-inch seat height, this sculptural armchair brings warmth, elegance, and a touch of the eclectic—perfect for designers seeking refined seating with personality.
