Louis XV Carved Walnut Armchair from Tuscany, 18th Century

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
An exceptional Louis XV armchair from Tuscany, crafted in solid walnut during the first half of the 18th century. Entirely hand-carved, the chair rests on four wavy legs joined by elegant cross stretchers — a distinctive feature of Tuscan craftsmanship of the Louis XV period. The shaped armrests flow gracefully into the serpentine frame, echoing the fluid Rococo sensibility of the era. The richly carved details retain their original patina, revealing centuries of natural wear that enhance the chair’s authenticity. Upholstered in a period-style tapestry fabric with floral and animal motifs, the piece radiates warmth and historic character. Completely original and free of replacements, this armchair embodies the refined artistry of Florentine woodworking — a rare survivor of 18th-century Italian design. A statement piece equally at home in a formal salon or as an accent in a contemporary interior.

Seat: 16"H x 20"D Arm: 27"H
