Louis XV Style Bench Mahogany and Yellow Velvet Louis-Philippe Period circa 1840

Very nice bergere armchair from the Louis-Philippe period, in the Louis XV style. Large comfortable but elegant armchair. The seat and back are well padded (as well as the armrests) to give it a very comfortable and soft seat.
