Very handsome Loiis XV style caned office armchair, also known as a "cabinet", from the 19th century.
This armchair has all the characteristics of the Lous XV style, with all its elegance. The base is typical of the period, with a front foot, two side feet and a rear foot.
The legs are well planted but elegantly arched, and the whiplash-shaped armrests join a fine sculpture at the top.
Note in passing the omnipresence of the carvings, at each end of the four legs, at the base of the armrests, along their length and finally, as noted above, at the top of the backrest.
It's worth noting that the two side legs are in one piece, from the base of the armrests to the top of the backrest, which, thanks to the absence of joints, contributes to the finesse of the whole.
A tan leather cushion or "galette" matches the stained beech wood perfectly. Note that the underside of the cushion, fitted with braids to secure it through the cane, will happily accept a new lining, the existing one attesting to the seat's regular use...
As for the wickerwork, note the beautiful horizontal and vertical lines.
An armchair is a piece of furniture that is as often seen from the back as from the front. The back of the backrest is treated in the same way as the rest of the piece: the sculpture is present at the bottom of the leg, and continues all the way to the seat on the central post of the fine molding that emphasizes the armrests and the seat belt.
There's no doubt that this armchair, in excellent condition, will look great in front of your stylish desk or assert its elegance in your living room.
