Reproduction of antique model. Louis XV entretoise Chair Caned Louis XV chair around 1760.
The elegance of this model comes from the special moulding of the back, which is very set back, the stretcher and the design of the crest rail evoking the Paris Regence style fashionable in Europe. Although the clasp and the acanthus carved at the top of the back and in the centre of the rail recall the Regence style, they are typical of the late Louis XV style, as is the moulding, which has no flowers.
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.
