Armchair 1780 - 1790

This gilded armchair, crafted by prominent French furniture maker Georges Jacob between 1780 and 1790, is a prime example of Louis XVI style. The elegant, curved lines of the chair's frame, the delicate carvings, and the plush green velvet upholstery reflect the refined taste of the era. The chair's slender, fluted legs are a characteristic element of this period, while the ornate armrests and the subtle details in the carving add a touch of grandeur. The piece currently resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
