Louis XV Period "queen's Style" Pair Cabriolet Armchair In Carved Walnut, Silk Upholstery

A perfect embodiment of French taste during the reign of Louis XV, this finely carved walnut cabriolet armchair, "à la Reine," brilliantly illustrates the elegance and virtuosity of Parisian workshops in the mid-18th century. Its straight back, of great architectural purity, asserts a regal silhouette, while the curved lines of the frame express all the sensuality of the masterful Rococo style. Upholstered in a luxurious 100% silk fabric with a floral motif, whose raspberry pink hue subtly shifts to golden reflections depending on the angle and the light, the piece exudes a visual presence of rare sophistication. The sleeved armrests, supported by "rabbit's head" brackets, testify to consummate sculptural skill. The delicately shaped front rail, centered with a carved flower, rests on four arched legs adorned with remarkably fine floral decoration. Entirely pegged—an unmistakable mark of high-quality craftsmanship—this armchair is in impeccable condition. The underside of the seat has been restored according to the highest standards: new webbing, reupholstered in a clean and discreet fabric. Recently refurbished by a professional upholsterer, this armchair offers a firm, comfortable, and perfectly stable seat, without any previous restoration or alteration to the frame. A collector's item of rare refinement, this armchair brilliantly embodies the excellence of Louis XV furniture, combining grace, balance, and technical mastery in exemplary harmony. Dimensions: Width: 59 cm Height: 82 cm Depth: 55 cm. These harmonious proportions, generous enough to offer true comfort yet elegantly restrained, allow the armchair to integrate seamlessly into a formal reception room, a boudoir, an intimate study, or a reading nook. Its presence, both discreet and prestigious, makes it an ideal piece to enhance a classic interior. For any shipping inquiries, please contact us.
