Handsome princely-quality ceremonial armchair in richly carved wood. A queen's model, it is mounted on a frame to alternate summer and winter upholstery. Our armchair dates from the Louis XV period, 18th century, late 1760s or early 1770s. Its overall shape is still very Louis XV, with acanthus leaf and ribbon motifs heralding the Louis XVI style.
High-quality Parisian work, reminiscent of the productions of Nicolas Heurtaut. Our seat is not stamped, but the workmanship and quality are comparable and make this attribution possible. Under the belt, a GM iron mark reminiscent of that of the Garde Meuble Royal. In the absence of initials under the crown, we are unable to attribute to the service for which prince this armchair might have been made. In the rebate, another mark or partial stamp LAS (?).
A fine amateur's chair, whose mysteries remain to be discovered. The presence of pegs under the front crossbeam suggests that it may have been intended for a velvet "meuble d'hiver" as shown here, and a caned "meuble d'été" (?), which would explain the use of the unupholstered cuffs.
We had this beautiful collector's chair covered with a ruby-red stricken silk velvet coupon, dating from the late 19th century and in mint condition. The chair has been relacquered. Old restorations (reinforcement brackets), splinters at foot ends.
