Description
Bring timeless French elegance into your home with this exceptional antique Louis XV-style Bergere armchair, handcrafted in the late 19th century (circa 1880-1900). Beautifully carved from solid mahogany, this impressive chair features graceful Rococo curves, a pierced floral crest, scrolled arms, cabriole legs, and intricate hand-carved details that exemplify fine French craftsmanship.
The generously proportioned frame is upholstered in an elegant cream floral tapestry fabric with deep button tufting, decorative brass nailhead trim, and a plush removable seat cushion. A matching accent pillow is included, completing the sophisticated look while adding extra comfort.
An original upholsterer's label from Di Maria Upholstering Co. of Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan remains underneath the chair. Founded in 1958, Di Maria was a respected upholstery and interior decorating company specializing in fine furniture restoration. The label documents that this antique chair was professionally reupholstered sometime after 1958, adding documented provenance while preserving its beautiful antique frame.
Whether placed in a formal living room, library, study, bedroom, or entryway, this Bergere makes a striking statement and blends effortlessly with French Country, Traditional, Hollywood Regency, and European-inspired interiors.
