Additional Description: A charming Louis XV-style corner chair featuring a gracefully curved walnut frame and hand-worked floral needlepoint upholstery. The seat and back are upholstered in a soft rose ground with delicate polychrome floral sprays, lending a romantic, distinctly French decorative character.
The carved frame displays classic Rococo influence, with cabriole legs, scrolling aprons, and a central floral cartouche to the front rail. The gently shaped back and corner form make this an ideal occasional or accent chair—perfect for placing in a bedroom corner, dressing area, or layered vignette.
The upholstery appears to be hand-stitched needlepoint, with a tight, even weave and nuanced color variation throughout the floral bouquet. The underside reveals traditional webbing construction, consistent with mid-20th century upholstery practices.
This is a beautiful decorative piece that blends craftsmanship and charm, offering both functionality and strong visual appeal within a French-inspired interior.
Era: Mid-20th century, in the Louis XV style
