An elegant French carved walnut bergère armchair in the Louis XVI taste, featuring a gracefully arched upholstered back, enclosed upholstered sides and finely carved exposed walnut framework.

The warm walnut frame is detailed with fluted supports, carved foliate decoration and delicately moulded edges, terminating in slender tapered legs with brass-capped feet. The shaped back gives the chair a particularly graceful silhouette, while the exposed carving along the arms and frame adds architectural interest without being overly ornate.

Upholstered in a pale gold silk-style damask woven with soft blue floral and scrolling motifs, the chair retains a luxurious loose down-filled seat cushion, providing notably soft and comfortable seating. The upholstered back, sides and padded arms make this a true bergère intended for both comfort and refined presentation.

A handsome and highly usable French occasional chair, well suited to a living room, bedroom, library or dressing room.
