About the Item

This 19th-century French upholstered armchair wonderfully embodies the Louis XV style with rich ornamentation and nary a straight line in sight. The chair has a sinuous wooden frame with a wide seat, flat back, and open, padded armrests. The crest rail and apron are carved in high relief with delicate flowers and leafy foliage and the feet are carved to a single acanthus leaf. Darkened by a rich patina, the antique frame is contrasted by updated upholstery in a bold palette of blue, red, and green. From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer. Additional Dimensions: Seat Height: 16.5".

Chinese Provincial Round Back Chair, c. 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
Prior to the 10th century, Chinese society eschewed raised seats in favour of mats.
