Armchair (part of a set of nine) 1730 - 1765

This Aubusson armchair, part of a set of nine, exemplifies the elegance of French Rococo design. Crafted between 1730 and 1765, the chair showcases intricate floral motifs woven into the upholstery, with the backrest featuring a central depiction of a lion. The delicately carved wooden frame, painted in a light, almost white color, further enhances the chair's refined aesthetic, creating a harmonious blend of texture and form. The chair's elegant lines and ornate details reflect the Rococo era's emphasis on asymmetry, curvilinear forms, and elaborate ornamentation.
