{"product_id":"napoleon-iii-rococo-capitonne-office-armchair-burgundy-leather-mahogany","title":"Napoleon III Rococo Revival Capitonné Office Armchair – Burgundy Leather \u0026 Mahogany","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a particular kind of authority that comes from sitting behind a desk in a chair like this. The cartouche-shaped back — its scalloped crest rising above button-tufted burgundy leather — anchors the room the moment it enters it. This office armchair draws from the Napoleon III Rococo Revival tradition of mid-19th-century France, when the Second Empire's appetite for opulence produced some of the most richly upholstered seat furniture ever made. The deep burgundy leather, the rhythm of antique-gold nailheads tracing every seam, and the carved cabriole legs rising from small pad feet — each element speaks the same design language: controlled richness, never excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is built from solid mahogany — a timber whose tight, interlocking grain has made it the preferred choice of classical European cabinetmakers for three centuries. The French polish finish deepens the grain into a warm burgundy-brown, catching light differently at every angle. Four cabriole legs, each shaped by hand, carry the characteristic Rococo Revival double curve that distinguishes this chair from the straighter-legged Louis XVI type. The upholstery is genuine leather, hand-applied over high-density foam, then buttoned by hand to create the capitonné diamond grid that defines the back panel. A continuous line of antique-gold brass nailheads borders the seat perimeter and the back panel — a detail that took craftsmen the better part of a session to set correctly, one nail at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: 50 cm \/ Depth: 63 cm \/ Height: 103 cm\u003cbr\u003eThis proportioning places the armrests at a height that clears a standard desk apron comfortably, while the generous seat depth (63 cm) supports extended working sessions. The padded open armrests, upholstered in matching leather with a nailhead border, provide forearm support without restricting movement. The back height of 103 cm gives the chair a commanding visual presence while keeping the lumbar and mid-back supported across the full working day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Brass \u0026amp; Wood office chair is built by hand in Egypt by craftsmen trained in classical European furniture construction. The capitonné buttoning, the nailhead placement, the French polish application — none of these can be replicated by machine without losing the character that makes the piece worth owning. This is a faithful interpretation of Napoleon III Rococo Revival seat furniture, produced with the materials and techniques that the style demands, and finished to a standard that will outlast trends by generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is this chair made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is solid mahogany with a French polish finish.
