Pair of armchairs, Louis XV style and period.
Armchairs in gilt walnut and upholstered in blue velvet fabric.
Stamped by Jean Baptiste Lebas.
In good state of preservation.
Provenance: Private collection. Sotheby's auction 1999.
Enclosed photocopies of the Sotheby's auction catalogue and purchase invoice.
Measurements: 98 x 68 x 87 cm.
Elegant pair of armchairs, Louis XV style and period. The legs are carved with laurel wreaths. This architectural model is typical of the style of the carpenters who worked for the crown around 1768-1772 and who expressed a powerful neoclassical style. And the blue velvet fabric makes these armchairs uniquely elegant. At that time in history, armchairs played an important role in a living room. Born in the 18th century, at a time when furniture represented a great occupation, Louis XV style armchairs had an exemplary reputation. This period marked the greatest luxury and the most perfect prodigality in history. Louis XV, the Duke of Lorraine, who came to the throne in 1715, as well as his wife Marie Leszczynska, the daughter of Stanislas, had to maintain a furnished court. Surrounded by artists and craftsmen, cabinetmakers and carpenters, the most famous of whom at the time were Foliot, Nicolas Heurtaut, Potter and Jean Baptiste Lebas (who stamps this lot), they appropriated luxury furniture, and it was they who pioneered the origin of the Louis XV style.
