Description

This exceptional armchair is a bold fusion of classical French form and high-fashion maximalist textiles, perfect for those looking to ground an interior with storied luxury. The frame is masterfully hand-carved in the Louis XV tradition, featuring an ornate foliate-and-scroll crest, sweeping cabriole legs, and an exquisite shell motif along the scalloped apron. It is upholstered in a striking tiger-stripe silk velvet, attributed to the legendary house of Scalamandre, which provides a fierce Hollywood Regency edge to the traditional silhouette. Hand-applied brass nailhead trim further accentuates the fluid lines of the chair, reflecting the premium artisanal craftsmanship sought after by high-end designers. Perfectly scaled as a commanding statement seat, this fauteuil adds a layer of curated "Safari Chic" to a grand library, a sophisticated primary suite, or an eclectic gallery wall. It measures 29" W × 20.5" D × 45.5" H, with a front height of 22.5". The piece remains in great vintage condition, exhibiting minor scuffs and a light, age-appropriate character to the rich wood that serves as a distinguished patina. The vibrant velvet remains well-preserved, showcasing the durability of high-quality designer textiles. Invite this iconic marriage of Rococo elegance and modern glamour into your home today.
