Armchair (part of a set of nine) 1730 - 1765

This elegant, Rococo-style armchair, crafted in Aubusson, France, between 1730 and 1765, is a testament to the artistry of the period. The chair's intricately carved frame features delicate curves and floral motifs, a hallmark of the Rococo style. The tapestry upholstery, depicting a heron amidst a lush garden, adds a touch of nature-inspired opulence. This exquisite piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies the refined taste and craftsmanship of 18th-century French furniture.
