A Louis XV-style open armchair with a carved frame painted soft antique cream, upholstered in deep chocolate-brown velvet. The back is a gently arched rectangle set in a moulded frame. At the top of the crest rail sits a single carved five-petal flower between scrolling leaves.

The same flower appears again at the centre of the front seat rail. The arms are short and padded in velvet, with supports that curve down in an S and finish in a carved spiral scroll. The chair stands on four cabriole legs with small leaf carvings at the knee and toe. The cream paint has worn back to warm raw wood on the feet and high points, so the chair looks lived in rather than new.

There are two of them, a matched pair. Set them either side of a fireplace or angle them toward each other with a small table between. Shown here with our Ming-Style Black Lacquer Side Table.

It belongs beside a fireplace, at the corner of a bedroom, or pulled up to a writing desk. The seat is wide and the back is upright, so it's comfortable for reading or for a long conversation.

Dark velvet against pale wood makes the chair quiet and a little romantic. It reads like a French apartment in the late afternoon, warm and soft.

Vintage, in good condition with honest wear. The paint is worn on the feet and edges, there's a small chip on one petal of the seat-rail flower, there's light crazing on the crest rail, and the velvet shows soft wear consistent with age. Offered at the Organic Erotic exclusive price of $550 each, or $1,000 for the pair.
