Description :
This charming French child’s chair, crafted in beech wood and dating from the second half of the 19th century (circa 1870), reflects the elegance of the Louis XV revival style. The frame is richly carved with floral motifs on the apron, knees, and crest, while the cabriole legs enhance its graceful silhouette. Beech was the preferred wood for chairs of this period, allowing fine sculptural details while ensuring sturdiness.
The seat and backrest are upholstered in a vintage floral fabric in shades of beige, red, and brown, framed by traditional brass nailhead trim. The textile, with its delicate floral design, lends warmth and romantic charm typical of French provincial interiors. Signs of age, including a gentle patina on the wood and wear on the fabric, highlight its authenticity and history.
Petite in scale, this child’s chair would have adorned an elegant 19th-century home. Today, it remains both a decorative accent and a collectible example of French craftsmanship.
