Armchair 1838 - 1848

Auguste-Emile Rinquet-Leprince's "Armchair" (1838-1848), a striking example of French furniture design, showcases the intricate details and refined craftsmanship of the period. The chair is crafted from black wood, delicately adorned with gold accents, and upholstered in a rich, patterned fabric. The elegant curves and graceful lines of the chair, culminating in the delicate, gilded castors, reflect the Rococo style, while the use of black wood and gold accents demonstrates the influence of the Neoclassical revival. This piece is a testament to the enduring beauty and skilled artistry of French decorative arts during the 19th century.
