Ready for covering in your own choice of fabric.
Story: The Fauteuil is a distinct French armchair, first appearing in the early 17th century, characterised by its exposed wooden frame and open sides. It features plush upholstery on the seat, back, and armrests, offering both comfort and elegance. A common decorative element is the ornate carving on its wooden frame, frequently gilded or painted to highlight its intricate details.
