Description
French Fauteuil designed with an exaggerated form, generous and comfortable. The curved wood frame is painted in a chartreuse green with raised carved berries and leaves details finished in olivine green painted accents. The arm chair is upholstered in lime green silk damask fabric trimmed in a matching gimp. The tall oval back rests on a wide seat and short curved legs. This is a WOW piece that will anchor a room. Purchased from the New York Estate of a antique dealers collection. * The silk fabric is very reflective and picks up colors and light therefore very difficult to photograph. The back of chair photo shows it best. Additional measurements: arm length 17", backrest from seat 26" high.
