Armchair after 1756

This pair of gilded and upholstered armchairs, created after 1756 by Jean-Baptiste Lebas, exemplifies the Rococo style. The delicate curves and intricate floral motifs of the chairs’ frames complement the ornate floral patterns of the upholstery, showcasing the craftsmanship and refinement of the era. The contrasting textures of the plush velvet and the smooth, gilded wood create a visually appealing contrast. These chairs would have been part of a luxurious interior setting, reflecting the elegance and sophistication of the French aristocracy.
