A large Louis XVI armchair attributed to Pierre Othon. Late 18th century. This armchair, known as a "Queen's chair," rests on four fluted and reeded legs at the front and back. The armrest supports are also fluted and reeded. The back is a round medallion. The seat is horseshoe-shaped. The rails are adorned with deep moldings. The top of the back and the front rail are carved with acanthus leaves. The upholstery is traditional, using webbing and horsehair. It is in good condition. The armchair is covered with worn petit point tapestry from the 18th century. Pierre Othon (master in 1760) was a chair maker recorded on the rue des Vieux-Augustins. His work consists of Louis XV and Louis XVI pieces, the former characterized by simple, flowing, and elegant lines, the latter by more rigorous designs. Jean Nicolay emphasizes his desire to give his chairs a subtle balance, always sculpting them with great care.
