18th Century Louis XVI Period Painted and Parcel-Gilt Bergere Chair
About the Item
Stunning French, 18th century, Louis XV Bergere Chair aligned with Rococo period. Previously part of a museum collection in Louisville, Kentucky. Collectors or those with a refined taste for fine French antiques would certainly appreciate this work of art. The original gilt work on this chair covers the most amazing, intricate, artisan hand-carved walnut wood frame. The chair's backside showcases what appears to be three stiles covered in 23 karat gold gilt work as was found after spot testing. The curved top and wings are framed with ornamental carvings that frame a beautiful soft blue velvet dot pattern over a satin fabric.
The wear to this piece is consistent with a chair of this time period. One arm has a small piece missing that reveals the wood underneath as seen in the images provided. There are areas of minimal cracking and small chips from the paint, again, consistent with an 18th century piece.

- 18th Century French Walnut Louis XV Style Fauteuil with Original Petit PointLocated in Louisville, KYThis mid 18th century French Louis XV walnut fauteuil with seemingly gloriously original upholstery portrays an exquisite petit-point that shows beautiful aging and a few minor areas that are reparable. The chair frame encompassing the padded back, arms, and serpentine-fronted seat apron are of rich walnut and are intricately hand carved revealing a floral crest in the center the top frame, flanked with stunningly done leaves that wrap the upper corners and continue down to the arms leading into the front seat apron with recessed gadroons along the way ultimately revealing a floral motif that continues on the crowns of the hipped cabriole legs that finish with a single scroll on pad bottoms. The overall wood of this chair is quite spectacular in that it seems to have the original rubbed finish which reveals the raw beauty of the wood and the patina flows beautifully into the wonderfully aged petit-point covering. This piece was part of a collection of a prominent Louisville family and spent a portion of its life in a stunning music conservatory as a piece of historic art beautifully positioned next to an antique baby grand piano.Category
