French Louis XV Style Fauteuil Armchair with Needlepoint Tapestry
French Louis XV Style Fauteuil Armchair with Needlepoint Tapestry
A French Louis XV style fauteuil armchair, available at The Foundry. A well-made reproduction in the classic Louis XV manner — dark walnut carved frame with a shaped cartouche back, scrolled open arms with upholstered pads, cabriole legs with carved knees, and brass nailhead trim throughout. The upholstery is the standout: a finely worked needlepoint tapestry on both the seat and back panel, depicting a Rococo pastoral scene of a courting couple surrounded by floral garlands and scrolling acanthus.
The tapestry is intact and vivid. The frame is solid. A decorative chair that brings serious character to any room — at a reproduction price.
