French Antique Chair Dating from the Napoleon III Period
About the Item
An elegant 19th century Napoleon III period decorative fireside chair (chaise chauffeuse), its deep and comfortable seat cushion beautifully upholstered in a striking cream and bronze-coloured fabric, secured all round with a nail- head trim. The frame of this very feminine little chair is decorated with a shiny, black lacquered paint finish, and is embellished all over with hand- painted floral designs in luxurious gilt, with mother of pearl inlays on the exceptionally ornate seat back. The chair stands on four tapered legs, the front two being sabre-shaped and joined by a beautifully turned stretcher. A fireside chair was built with a comparatively low seat, so that the warmth of the fire could be better enjoyed on a chilly evening. This particularly beautiful example is in excellent condition and showcases a wealth of exceptional French craftsmanship.
