This nineteenth-century French marquise takes the form of an open armchair with a broad upholstered seat, a high padded backrest, and low scroll arms. The piece wears a faded cream fabric cover finished with metal studs along the base, while the exposed wooden framework stands on turned black legs at the front. The upholstery shows significant staining, wear, and fraying across the seat and arms, and the seat frame requires structural attention due to weak webbing straps. Measuring 76 cm high, 102 cm wide, and 72 cm deep, this seating option suits a living room, bedroom, or reading nook as an accent piece once professionally restored.

FAQs

A marquise is a wide, deep-seated French armchair originating in the eighteenth century, designed with generous proportions to comfortably accommodate broad attire or two sitters.

These frames were traditionally crafted from hardwoods such as walnut, beech, or oak, featuring coil-sprung seating, horsehair padding, and hand-stitched lining or calico fabrics.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved or hand-turned wooden elements, traditional joinery techniques like mortise and tenon, hand-tacked upholstery layers, and substantial frame depth.

A marquise serves as an ideal statement piece in a primary bedroom suite, spacious hallway, or living room nook, pairing well with contemporary minimalist decor or traditional schemes.

Regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment removes dust, while exposed wooden legs should be treated periodically with natural beeswax to preserve the finish.
