Original Distressed Finish & Floral Upholstery
A wonderfully decorative French fauteuil armchair with elegant Louis XV lines, retaining its beautifully worn painted finish and floral woven upholstery. This piece has exactly the softly faded, timeworn character that gives authentic French seating its charm — layers of age, patina and craftsmanship impossible to recreate convincingly today.
The carved frame features flowing cabriole legs, floral carvings, original brass studwork and naturally distressed cream and gilt decoration with warm wood tones emerging beneath. The upholstery has a delicate floral ribbon design in muted greens and pinks, perfectly complementing the aged frame.
An ideal accent chair for a bedroom corner, dressing room, boutique interior, hallway or layered country-house scheme. Equally beautiful simply styled beside a fireplace with linen cushions and antique books.
