About the Item

Nice pair of Louis 14 style armchairs dating from the 19th century. Very beautiful pair of Louis XIII style armchairs, with high backs. Each armchair rests on four legs connected together by a so-called “sheep bone” crotch. Large backrests provide great seating comfort. The armrests are lined with a fully padded sleeve and rest on console supports. The structure is made of wood, the armrests are in the shape of a crook. The back and the seat are covered with a red fabric decorated with large flowers. The base is connected by an H-shaped brace. France Early 19th century Louis XIV Style The Louis XIV style is a furnishing style covering more or less the period of the reign of Louis XIV (1661 to 1715). This style is characterized by the majesty and richness of its furnishings. The Louis XIV style follows the Louis XIII style. The furniture is increasingly luxurious, but unlike previous styles, it is almost no longer inspired by architecture. There are two kinds of furniture: ceremonial furniture richly decorated with veneers and inlays (especially with André-Charles Boulle), solid gilt wood and bourgeois furniture in solid wood. The style is characterized above all by its absolute symmetry and an important and ostentatious dimension. The Louis XIV style is of Italian and ancient inspiration. The style emerged with the advent of the reign of Louis XIV in 1661 and lasted until the end of the 17th century. In 1690, on the death of Lebrun, decorator to the King, the style declined and was gradually replaced by the Regency style. The Palace of Versailles is obviously extremely and lastingly marked by the Louis XIV style. His long reign made it possible to impose the unique style of the Grand Siècle and to leave a lasting mark on the decorative arts of this period of classicism. The Louis XIV style will also reach its peak when the royal court moved to Versailles in 1682.
