About the Item

The elegance and romance of French antique seating have long been celebrated, and both are beautifully expressed in this Louis XV style walnut fauteuil. Its tall arched back, fluid open arms, serpentine apron and gracefully curved cabriole legs create the distinctive movement of Louis XV design. Fine floral and rocaille carving embellishes the arm supports, apron and knees, while the rich patina of the walnut brings warmth and definition to every sculpted detail. The hand-woven needlepoint is equally remarkable, unfolding like a romantic scene from 18th-century French country life. An elegantly dressed couple rests together in a flower-filled meadow beneath leafy trees, while sheep graze peacefully nearby. The pastoral story continues across the generous seat with grazing sheep surrounded by flowers, foliage and open countryside. Softly aged greens, blues, rose and warm neutral tones give the needlework depth and a beautifully time-softened character. The graceful carved frame and enchanting pastoral needlepoint come together in a French antique chair of exceptional artistry, romance and decorative beauty. Circa early 1900s Measures 40H x 25W x 26D; seat 19H This armchair is available at Inessa Stewart’s Antiques, Dallas Design District, Dallas, Texas.

18th Century French Walnut Louis XV Style Fauteuil with Original Petit Point

18th Century French Walnut Louis XV Style Fauteuil with Original Petit Point

Located in Louisville, KY

This mid 18th century French Louis XV walnut fauteuil with seemingly gloriously original upholstery portrays an exquisite petit-point that shows beautiful aging and a few minor areas that are reparable. The chair frame encompassing the padded back, arms, and serpentine-fronted seat apron are of rich walnut and are intricately hand carved revealing a floral crest in the center the top frame, flanked with stunningly done leaves that wrap the upper corners and continue down to the arms leading into the front seat apron with recessed gadroons along the way ultimately revealing a floral motif that continues on the crowns of the hipped cabriole legs that finish with a single scroll on pad bottoms. The overall wood of this chair is quite spectacular in that it seems to have the original rubbed finish which reveals the raw beauty of the wood and the patina flows beautifully into the wonderfully aged petit-point covering. This piece was part of a collection of a prominent Louisville family and spent a portion of its life in a stunning music conservatory as a piece of historic art beautifully positioned next to an antique baby grand piano.
