Louis XVI style "à la reine" Armchair - carved beech - France Napoleon III 19th

About the Item

Magnificent "à la reine" armchair with flat back in Louis XVI style beech with rows of pearls. This beautiful armchair is made of molded and carved beech. The square-shaped backrest is entirely carved and richly decorated with a frieze of carved pearls. The armrests are decorated with velvet cuffs on cavetto consoles and are decorated with a frieze and acanthus leaves, the belts with a frieze of fluting highlighted with pearls. The legs are tapered and fluted. The armchair is upholstered in a beautiful gray fabric with a very delicate tone-on-tone pattern. The armrests are in gray velvet. France, 19th, Louis XVI Style - Napoleon III Period 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.
