Richly Carved Armchair, Régence Period

Very beautiful and elegant armchair with cane bottom, flat back with strong shoulders, in molded and richly carved beech, decorated with asymmetrical rocailles, foliage, acanthus leaves, reticulated motifs, clovers, water leaves, shells, lambrequins , volutes, etc., the armrests and their consoles of sinuous shape, standing on four arched legs, ending in windings (small accidents and pitting on the rear crosspiece of the belt).
Régence period, circa 1725.
Good condition (with a worn fawn leather pad).
An armchair with the same type of trefoil cartel, emphasizing the strong shoulder of the back, is today exhibited in the galleries of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Our armchair can be compared to the works of Jean-Baptiste I Tilliard, received master in Paris in 1717.
