Armchair after 1756

These two Rococo-style armchairs, created by Jean-Baptiste Lebas after 1756, exhibit the exquisite craftsmanship of the French furniture-making tradition. The chairs are adorned with intricate carvings and delicate curves, and each features a distinct upholstery. The chair on the left has a gold-colored fabric with floral embroidery while the chair on the right features a dark green velvet. These armchairs, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, are a testament to the enduring legacy of 18th-century French design.
