Description
A French Louis XVI style walnut bergère wingback armchair from the 19th century with carved twisted ribbon, roses and foliage motifs. This French Louis XVI style walnut bergère wingback armchair, hailing from the 19th century, is a true testament to the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of French furniture design. Known as a "bergère à oreilles" in French, this chair boasts a regal presence that is both inviting and resplendent in its intricate details.
At first glance, the top of the crest catches the eye with delicately carved roses, a symbol of love and beauty. Below, the upper rail is adorned with the signature twisted ribbon motifs, an emblem of grace and refinement. These motifs are artfully echoed on the skirt, creating a harmonious and balanced aesthetic.
The scrolled knuckles on the arms add a touch of drama and sophistication to the piece, while the tapered legs, adorned with fluted motifs, convey a sense of classical grace. Carved rosettes on the knees further accentuate the chair's attention to detail and commitment to artistry.
