Reproduction of antique model. Louis XV Peonies Cabriolet circa 1760. Original: Antiquarian – Paris.
The charm and originality of this small armchair «en cabriole» shows itself in many ways. The projection of the crossing in the back, the moulding that curves and counter curves to finish in supremely elegant flowers, and the robust carving and dynamic architectural «feel». The beautiful «coup de fouet» of the armrest support is certainly contributing to this fluid elegance. Although not stamped, it can be linked to the works of Louis Delanois or Pothier.
Louis XV Style The French style period from approximately 1730 to 1770, although this king was on the throne from 1715 (the Regence period ran from 1715 to 1723) until 1774. Inspiration taken from plants, hence a curvilinear style.
