A French Louis XVI style walnut bergère wingback armchair from the 19th century, this piece is a true testament to the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of French furniture design. Known as a "bergère à oreilles," it boasts a regal presence, highlighted by intricate details. The crest features delicately carved roses, symbolizing love and beauty, while the upper rail showcases signature twisted ribbon motifs, embodying grace and refinement. These motifs are echoed on the skirt, creating a harmonious aesthetic. Scrolled knuckles on the arms add drama and sophistication, complemented by tapered legs with fluted details that convey classical grace. Carved rosettes on the knees further enhance the chair's artistry. Though the upholstery has seen its share of use, it presents an exciting opportunity for the new owner to personalize and revitalize this exceptional piece. In your home, this Louis XVI bergère serves as a focal point in any setting—be it a formal sitting area, cozy library, or elegant bedroom corner.
