    -Carved walnut desk armchair in the neoclassical style,

    The two front legs are carved with a winged lion at the top and end in lion paws, as do the back legs. The hemicycle-shaped seat, upholstered in leather and featuring two carved palmettes on the front, is reminiscent of the antefixes commonly used in Greek and Roman architecture. These two palmettes are followed by the arm brackets, the upper part of which is carved with an eagle's head. The backrest, also hemicycle-shaped, is carved on each side with a large Greek motif on a gilded background.

    -Italian work circa 1870. In very good condition, with old restorations under the seat.

    -The curved shape of the armchair and the use of motifs such as antefixes, lion's heads and grecques are typical of neoclassical furniture inspired by Greek Antiquity, which came back into vogue in the 19th century thanks to numerous trips to Greece by artists, historians and archaeologists. Numerous examples of neo-Greek furniture can be found in the paintings of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres and Gustave Boulanger in the second half of the 19th century.
