Armchair (Fauteuil) 1700 - 1735

This 18th-century armchair, crafted in the French Rococo style, features a delicate, carved wooden frame with a tapestry-covered seat and back. The tapestry, likely produced in Aubusson, France, depicts a floral motif with a prominent vase of flowers. The chair’s ornate design and intricate details exemplify the elegance and sophistication of French Rococo furniture, characterized by its asymmetrical curves and playful ornamentation. The armchair is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
