Armchair 1856 - 1865

This ornately carved armchair, crafted by the Meeks brothers between 1856 and 1865, exemplifies the Rococo Revival style popular during the mid-19th century. Its intricate floral motifs, flowing curves, and delicate detailing showcase the craftsmanship of the era, while its blue upholstery adds a touch of elegance and comfort. This piece, currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the Rococo style, demonstrating its influence on furniture design even decades after its initial peak.
