"Generous Louis XVI Stained Molded Walnut Nurse's Chair Upholstered Seat With Base & Cushion"
Generous and robust, elegant and aristocratic, I would not be without wonder in front of this seat called nurse or generous driver's chair in pure Louis XVI style with a high square walnut back, spindle legs molded like the back in a frame of a beautiful and healthy stained walnut. This elegant piece of furniture from the end of the 18th century has an upholstered back and a seat with an original reinforced floor covered with horsehair padding with a bowl-shaped bead and a generous cushion. It alone represents the search for simplicity and sobriety that followed the Louis XV baroque, considered too exuberant. We are close to the French Revolution where the refined and nevertheless elegant style prefigures the Directory, the Consulate and the Empire... A pretty low seat, practical, solid and very appropriate for a pose or to tie your shoes. A convenient piece of furniture easy to place in an entrance or in the living room near the fireplace with high decorative value in good condition
