About the Item

A whimsical and plush accent piece, this armchair is a 20th-century take on the opulent French Napoleon III aesthetic. The chair is defined by its generously proportioned, perfectly cylindrical 'bolster' arms and a matching rolled neck rest or some would say a crest, upholstered in a vibrant claret-red velvet. The softly reclined back indicates the chair being made for comfort and lounging. The base is finished with a dense, hand-tied bullion fringe that adds a sense of movement and drama. The dense passementerie skirting the base is finished in the traditional method of making in the region. Fully upholstered and skirted, the form reflects the relaxed tactile philosophy of chairs made in the province. Relaxed, elegant and quietly indulgent, the form is from the Alsace region, where French refinements meet a more intimate, almost Alpine sensibility. Its compact scale and playful proportions make it the perfect 'jewel' for a maximalist bedroom or a sophisticated dressing area.
