Item Description
Style: Elegant 19th century French open armchair, crafted from beechwood and finished in a vibrant Eau de Nil with cream accents highlighting delicately carved floral motifs. The backrest is sculpted and upholstered, crowned by a carved floral centre piece. The generous, well sprung supportive seat is raised upon classic cabriole legs with floral carving. Currently dressed in calico with a rustic hessian back and bare arm pads, this piece serves as a beautiful blank canvas, ready to be customised in the fabric of your choosing.
Style: First appearing in the early 17th century, the open-armed fauteuil became the definitive armchair of French elegance, synonymous with the opulent styles of the Louis XV and Louis XVI eras. Eau de Nil translates to ‘Water of the Nile’. A sophisticated blue-green softened by an underlying tan warmth. Since its debut in the mid-19th century, this evocative shade has been celebrated for capturing the complex colour palette of the river itself.
