ANTIQUITÉS PHILIPPE GLÉDEL Marquise Chair

Details

Description

Rare pair of mahogany-stained solid walnut canopies carved with Empire period palmettes. The marquises were born under the reign of Louis XV from the use of baleinated dresses (they were then called confidants), still very numerous under the reign of Louis XVI they will tend to disappear in the following century because of changes in clothing fashion. Indeed we meet few under the Empire and the Restoration, which makes them only more sought after because these seats, which are in short large shepherdesses or small sofas, provide excellent comfort. Condition: superb condition of the barrels, without restoration or reinforcement squares, some small pits. Old trim (period strapping) in excellent condition and foam cushions. Note: the similarity with mahogany is total because indeed nothing looks more like mahogany than a beautiful walnut with tight grains tinged with acaddin. Dimensions: 94.5 cm high x 81.5 cm wide x 55 cm deep - 71.5 m between armrests.
