FRANCE ÉPOQUE LOUIS XIII
FRANCE ÉPOQUE LOUIS XIII
Gilded walnut, antique red silk velvet
H. 90 cm, W. 57.5 cm, D. 47 cm
From the first half of the 17th century, the design of the seats evolved to give the model of the so-called Louis XIII chair, heralding the birth of the armchair. The chair widens and lowers, horizontal lines predominate. In addition, the tiles disappear in favour of fixed upholstery stuffed with horsehair.
Our chair rises on a four-legged base connected by an H-shaped crosspiece with a front crosspiece.
Legs, crossbars and armrests are turned in twists.
Baluster columns make up the rear uprights. Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
