Armchair (bergère en cabriolet) (one of a pair) 1755 - 1775

This elegant "bergère en cabriolet" (armchair) was created by French furniture maker Claude-Louis Burgat between 1755 and 1775. The armchair is made of gilded wood and features a pink silk upholstery. The design reflects the Rococo period's emphasis on ornate decoration and asymmetrical curves, as seen in the cabriole legs and the elaborate carvings. The armchair is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the 18th century, and its luxurious appearance would have been highly sought after by the French aristocracy.
