Fauteuil Bergère Gondole Moulurée Et Sculptée. Epoque Louis XV En Bois Naturel . XVIII E Siècle

"Personal" shepherdess (alone since initially made for the hostess...) and "gondola" shape. Provincial work from the Louis XV period. Molded natural wood. Fine sculptures of the flowers and beautiful molding. Elegant movement of the flared armrest supports. Front crosspiece here slightly convex. Transitional arched feet (1750-1774). The shepherdess, which appeared in 1725, is a large, very enveloping lady's armchair, wide and low, whose full sides rise to the level of the belt. This armchair is covered in a beautiful foliage (pale blue and floral patterns). The seat is filled with a movable down cushion so that it always remains inflated. Some stains on the cushion to be cleaned. This is a very comfortable chair. initially, the shape of the armrests set back from the height of the seat allowed women of the nobility, dressed in their basket dresses, to sit there without disturbing their toilets. Pleasant convenience chair. Eighteenth century.
