A very handsome and elegant cane-bottomed armchair, with a flat, strongly shouldered back, in molded and richly carved beech, decorated with asymmetrical rocaille, foliage, acanthus leaves, reticulated motifs, trefoils, water leaves, shells, lambrequins, scrolls, etc.., The armrests and their continuous sinuous consoles, standing on four arched feet, finished with scrolls and acanthus leaves (small accidents - pitting on the rear crosspiece of the belt).
Late Regency period, circa 1725 / 1730.
Good condition (with a worn tan leatherette).
An armchair with the same type of trefoil cartel, emphasizing the strong shoulder of the backrest, is now on display in the galleries of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Our armchair can be compared with the work of Jean-Baptiste I Tilliard, who was awarded the title of Master in Paris in 1717.
