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

This French Rococo armchair, dating from 1730-1765, is a fine example of the period’s elegant design. It features a curved, upholstered back with a floral tapestry depicting a bird, and intricately carved, cabriole legs. This armchair, part of a set of nine, is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the Aubusson workshops, known for their high-quality tapestries and furniture. The armchair is now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
