About the Item
This Louis XVI-era chaise is not merely a piece of furniture; it is a timeless testament to the elegance and craftsmanship of the Classicism period. Believed to have once graced the grand halls of Pavlovsk Palace, this extraordinary piece has been carefully restored, allowing its rich history and exquisite design to once again take center stage. Crafted from solid lime wood, the frame is finished in a sophisticated green-gold hue, adding a touch of refined luxury to its clean, classical lines.
The upholstery is a masterpiece in itself. The seat and backrest are padded with precisely trimmed horsehair, providing the comfort and support typical of the finest 18th-century furniture. The hand-tied spring cushioning ensures that this chaise remains not only a beautiful object but also a functional, comfortable seating piece. The silk damask fabric that covers the upholstery is a work of art, handwoven on the original loom at Jacquard Moscow, and is based on an original design from Pavlovsk Palace. The luxurious fabric, rich in texture and pattern, adds depth and sophistication to the chaise, while the carefully chosen trimmings from Declerq enhance its overall elegance.
The design of this chaise is rooted in the Louis XVI style, which marks a return to the clarity, simplicity, and restrained beauty of Greco-Roman antiquity. Characterized by clear lines, simple proportions, and classical motifs, the style rejected the exuberance of Baroque and Rococo in favor of a more refined, timeless aesthetic. This piece perfectly embodies the restrained elegance of the Classicism movement, with its antique-inspired forms and minimal decorative elements.
As you gaze upon this chaise, it is clear that it is more than just a functional piece of furniture; it is a rare treasure that embodies the artistry and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Whether displayed in a contemporary or classic setting, this chaise is sure to become the focal point of any room, offering both historical significance and timeless beauty. It brings the grandeur of the Louis XVI era into any home, offering a unique opportunity to experience the splendor of the 18th century firsthand.
