Armchair (one of a pair) 1720 - 1730

This elegant armchair, created by the Savonnerie Manufactory in the early 18th century, exemplifies the refined taste of the French Rococo period. The intricate floral tapestry upholstery, likely depicting a garden scene, adorns the chair's back and seat, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship of the Savonnerie workshop. The chair's graceful, curving legs and carved details further enhance its delicate beauty. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring allure of Rococo design.
