Large armchair with a flat back, called "à la Reine" back, from the Louis XV period, stamped E DIEUDONNE. This very beautiful seat is made of natural waxed and patinated wood.

The upholstery is recent and in excellent condition. Wide and comfortable seat. This armchair bears the stamp E.DIEUDONNE on the outside of the rear crosspiece. Jean-Etienne II Dieudonné came from a large family of Parisian cabinetmakers. He was received as a master on June 27, 1740 and specialized in the manufacture of beds and seats in the Louis XV style. He collaborated with famous sculptors of his time (Boudoux, Régnier, etc.). Armchair in very good condition. Minor wear and old restorations.
