French Louis XV Style Carved Balloon Porters Chair, 19th Century

About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century Louis XV style carved balloon porter's chair is a testament to the timeless elegance of French craftsmanship. Crafted in France during the second half of the 19th century, this chair showcases remnants of gilding that once adorned its intricately carved frame. The frame itself is a work of art, featuring a delicate interplay of design elements, including beading, gracefully unfurling acanthus leaves, charming rosettes, and the subtle detail of lamb's tongue motifs. This chair, though in need of reupholstery, is a rare find for enthusiasts of French furniture, offering the opportunity to restore it to its former glory and bask in its regal charm. 28.5"w x 29.5"d x 61.5"h. Seat: 22"w x 20.5"d x 15", no cushion. Arm height: 25.5".
