Description
The forms of the Renaissance remain fashionable. The chair’s architecture is vertical, with straight planes. Its balanced silhouette creates a network of essential lines that highlights the perfectly preserved petit point upholstery.
This rare armchair from the Henry II period is adorned with a beautiful petit point tapestry featuring floral and vegetal motifs on both the backrest and seat.
Supported by a base composed of four fluted columns in high relief, joined by a circular stretcher, this armchair features a high open backrest, closed at the top with a wide and narrow band.
The curved armrests, adorned with bird feather motifs on the top, curl into scrolls at the front, resting on beaded balusters that extend into the legs.
This armchair evokes an impression of ceremonial grandeur due to the quality of its proportions. A pure piece from the Henry II period, it reflects the taste of an era where grace and balance harmonize with majesty.
