The eighteenth century is considered the Golden age of French furniture. It was during this time that the most refined and beautiful Royal furniture was made in the busy Paris workshops of Europe's elite cabinet makers. Rococo motifs are central to Louis XV furniture design. These include C-scrolls, S-scrolls, acanthus leaves, rocaille (shell-like) patterns, and pastoral scenes. These elements were used to create a sense of movement and natural beauty, often giving the furniture a light, almost whimsical appearance. This beautiful period chair is in amazingly well preserved condition highlighting the timeless craftsmanship that defines Louis XV furniture. Measures 27"W x 26.5"D x 40"H and weighs 34 pounds.
