French Louis XVI style basket/gondola/marquise Armchair - France - 19th century

About the Item

Beautiful Louis XVI style marquise, gondola, or basket-shaped desk or bedroom armchair. This 19th-century armchair is very comfortable. It is upholstered in a thick, soft, suede-like fabric. In a nude color, it blends perfectly with any interior. This armchair is made of molded and carved wood. The armrest consoles are carved with fluting and twisted brackets. The legs are tapered and fluted. This wonderful armchair is very comfortable and soft, yet also very decorative. France - Louis XVI style - 19th century The Louis XVI style was born in France and was exported throughout Europe and then the whole world. The antique and classic style greatly influenced Louis XVI style furniture and was one of its themes. The attraction for classicism is felt in the design of the furniture. The proportions and volumes are balanced, the elegance is sober and refined; The Petit Trianon, in the park of the Palace of Versailles, offered by King Louis XVI to the Queen Marie-Antoinette, is a good example of the Louis XVI style: its inspiration comes from Greek antiquity, its lines are clearly straight, but for all that, a certain lightness emanates from it. Louis XVI leaves numerous marks of his passage and his investment in the place at Versailles. Louis XVI period furniture is extremely elegant, geometric and of high quality.
