A French walnut Transition period armchair from the 18th century with scrolling arms, fluted tapering legs and carved stretchers. Crafted from a beautifully grained walnut, this chair exhibits the fusion of voluptuous curves and streamlined neoclassical lines, a hallmark of the Transition style. The rectangular slightly slanted back pairs elegantly with splaying arms adorned with scrolling knuckles, introducing a gentle touch of organic design. These rest above fluted tapering legs, each accented with carved medallions at the knees. With its blend of elements from two celebrated periods of French design, Louis XV and Louis XVI periods, this armchair offers a beautiful synthesis of styles, making it a sophisticated addition to any room
