Description

A 19th Century French Armchair in Louis XVI style, with channel moulded walnut frame and feather filled loose seat cushion.

The chair is in solid condition with no loose joints. It has a few old repairs and some evidence of historic worm to the back stretcher but it is no longer present.

The fabric upholstery is somewhat grubby which could be improved with steam cleaning. I can arrange re-covering with my upholsterer and supply fabric if required - please get in touch for further details.

FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the late 18th century as a reaction to the curves of Rococo, favouring neoclassical symmetry, straight lines, geometric forms, and classical motifs such as fluting and acanthus leaves.

Authentic period pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods like walnut, beech, or oak, featuring mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved detailing, traditional webbed upholstery, and hand-applied brass tacking.

Authenticity is determined by examining the wood patina, tool marks indicating hand-carving, traditional joinery methods, natural ageing of materials, and the type of internal stuffing and webbing used in the upholstery.

Pairing this traditional seating with contemporary minimalist furniture or placing it against a neutral wall creates a balanced focal point that bridges historical character with modern design.

Protect the piece from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels to prevent wood cracking and fabric fading, and clean the wooden frame periodically with a soft, dry cloth and micro-wax.
