Louis XV Style Armchair in Carved Wood with Petit Point Upholstery

Louis XV Style Armchair in Carved Wood with Petit Point Upholstery

This magnificent Louis XV style armchair is an ode to French refinement, standing out especially for its exquisite upholstery in Petit Point technique. Unlike industrial fabrics, the fine cross stitch or petit point of this piece reflects meticulous craftsmanship, where each flower and chromatic detail has been embroidered to create a rich, dense texture and superior durability.
The structure, made of noble wood with an aged finish that highlights its heritage, presents the classic cabriole legs and floral carvings on the frame, elements that harmonize perfectly with the botanical pattern of the fabric. The use of earth tones, ochres and dusty blues on the cream background gives the piece a patina of authenticity, ideal for those looking for pieces with “soul” and a story to tell.
The Art of Petit Point
The petit point reached its maximum splendor in the European courts, being the preferred work for the furniture of the aristocracy due to its resistance and the pictorial beauty it allows to achieve. In this armchair, the upholstery is not just a covering, it is a textile canvas that elevates the furniture to the category of a collector's item. It is the definitive complement for Provencal, Classic or Neoclassical style environments.
