This high-back armchair, faithfully reproduced in the tradition of the Napoleon III Rococo Revival period (1852–1870), carries exactly that authority. The towering upholstered back, the deeply scrolled and shell-carved gilt cabriole legs, and the warm salmon floral jacquard fabric work together to create a presence that commands any room it enters. The Second Empire court demanded furniture that was simultaneously theatrical and intimate — this chair delivers both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is constructed from solid beech, carved by hand into the dramatically scrolling cabriole legs that define this piece. Each leg terminates in a full C-scroll foot and rises through a pronounced knee carved with a shell-and-acanthus motif — the signature ornament of the Rococo Revival vocabulary. The entire leg assembly is finished in a high-gloss gold leaf gilding that catches the light with every angle shift. The seat, back, and armrests are upholstered in a rich salmon-toned floral jacquard, its ground woven with bouquet and ribbon motifs characteristic of Second Empire textile design. The outer back and sides feature a distinctive gathered and pleated treatment in toning plain velvet, creating the draped softness that distinguishes this chair from a standard salon piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: 58 cm \/ Depth: 65 cm \/ Height: 102 cm\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 15 kg\u003cbr\u003eThe chair's 102 cm height gives it a genuine vertical presence — the back rises well above seated eye level, giving the piece the silhouette of a throne chair while remaining perfectly scaled for a bedroom corner, a dressing room, or a formal salon. The seat depth of 65 cm provides genuine comfort alongside the decorative intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery chair in the Brass \u0026amp; Wood collection is built by skilled Egyptian craftsmen who have trained in the traditions of European classical joinery and decorative carving. The hand-gilded cabriole legs are carved, sanded, gessoed, and gilded in successive layers — a process that cannot be replicated by machine. The pleated fabric treatment on the back is cut and gathered by hand for each piece individually. This is not production-line furniture; it is a made-to-order piece that carries the mark of the hands that built it. Customization of fabric color and finish is available on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is this chair made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is solid beech. The visible carved elements — cabriole legs, knee scrolls, and shell motifs — are hand-carved from the same timber and finished in high-gloss gold leaf gilding.
