About the Item

French 18th Century Régence Carved Armchair, Large and impressive Early 18th Century French Régence carved armchair. This exquisite, fine quality armchair is adorned with tapestry like upholstery and was typically used for seating in front of a museum quality Mazarin desk/bureau. Constructed with high quality oak wood it is strong enough for it to be used daily. It is very comfortable because of its large seat. Although seats were generally stuffed and not sprung yet during this period, many had loose feather-filled cushions that made them feel very comfortable. Armchair design was led by the French and this one is certainly in the category of a fine piece made for nobles. This armchair or French fauteuil is hand-crafted, hand-carved and in remarkable original antique condition. Made during the Régence period. The Régence was the period in French history between 1715 and 1723, when King Louis XV was a minor and the land was governed by Philippe d'Orléans.
