Armchair after 1756

"Armchair" is a pair of Rococo-style armchairs created by Jean-Baptiste Lebas, a master craftsman in 1756. Crafted after 1756, the gilded wood frames of the chairs are ornately carved and decorated with a delicate floral design. The chairs display a contrasting upholstery: one with a green velvet fabric and the other with a floral embroidered silk. The chairs are currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art and exemplify the elegance and craftsmanship of the Rococo period.
