This elegant desk chair, crafted by Etienne Meunier around 1760-1770, embodies the refined aesthetic of the French Rococo period. The chair's intricate design features a woven cane back and seat, supported by a gracefully curved frame of inlaid wood. The ornate gilt-bronze mounts, with their delicate floral and foliate motifs, add a touch of opulence to the piece. This desk chair, a testament to Meunier's skill, would have been a prized possession in a well-appointed home during the 18th century.

Almost all the chairs produced in France were made of painted or gilded wood. This one, however, is different. It is a rare example of a chair veneered with tropical woods and ornamented with gilt-bronze mounts. Its style is entirely in keeping with that of the desk on view next to it.
