A fine so-called a la Reine Louis XV lacquered armchair, circa 1760 - 1770. Very finely sculpted high-end model with removable seat and backrest (the French call it siege or fauteuil a chassis) to be able to change the winter tapestry cover to a summer silk cover. This kind of seats was the most refined production in 18th century.
Parisian work that calls Nicolas Heurtaut's productions in mind, although not stamped. There is a GM mark (Garde Meuble Royal ?) branded under the seat.
Very elegant production ; we had the removable cushion and backrest covered with an antique stunning red velvet silk (19th century silk, never used before, in mint condition).
Our armchair is in very good condition. It has been re-lacquered. Antique repairs.
