Pair Of Louis XV Period Cane Chairs Stamped By Louis Cresson

Pair of chairs molded beech wood, carved and waxed, caned. Violin file says to the queen, sitting as wide as it is hospitable, a voluble belt resting on a slightly arched base; the whole is traversed by a broad and deep molding punctuated by bold acanthus foliage. The great particularity of this pair of chairs lies in the perfect harmony between fine Rococo sculptures like cartels, cartridges and staples cohabiting with thanks to exploded grenades, flowers and other flower buds of the new emerging taste, around 1740. Each is equipped with its purple velvet tile embossed old gold. It should be noted the great care given to the connecting elements of an irreproachable quality. Balance, nervousness and elegance are the most appropriate terms for this beautiful pair of cane seats with a very high quality of execution. Each of them is stamped L CRESSON for Louis Cresson on the outside of the posterior cross. Louis CRESSON 1706-July 1761, Master in Paris on January 28, 1738.
