Louis XV Salon Armchair with Damask Backrest & Ivory Gilt Frame

Royal Elegance Rooted in Louis XV Tradition

The Brass & Wood ROOMCH0983 salon armchair is an authentic recreation of the Louis XV fauteuil, a form celebrated for its graceful curves, organic ornamentation, and intimate scale. Every line of this chair — from the sweeping cabriole legs to the carved cartouche apron — reflects the spirit of eighteenth-century French court interiors, where comfort and artistry were inseparable ideals.

Materials & Upholstery

The generous seat and armrests are upholstered in a soft teal velvet that invites repose, while the oval medallion backrest showcases a richly woven damask panel featuring a classical floral bouquet framed by acanthus scrolls. The solid wood frame is finished in a warm ivory lacquer with hand-applied gilt accents on the carved crests, armrests, apron, and leg knees — creating a luminous contrast that is unmistakably palatial.

Craftsmanship

Each chair is individually handcrafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood artisans trained in classical European joinery and decorative carving. The carved floral crest rail, foliate armrests, and sculpted apron panel are shaped entirely by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. The gilt detailing is applied using traditional techniques to achieve the depth and warmth characteristic of period originals.

Dimensions

Overall height: 93 cm | Seat depth: 58 cm | Overall width: 76 cm. This scale makes the chair equally suited as a standalone accent piece or as part of a coordinated salon suite.
