Louis XV Salon Armchair with Gilded Frame & Floral Brocade Upholstery

Design Inspiration

Rooted in the exuberant Rococo spirit of the French Louis XV court, this salon armchair captures the essence of eighteenth-century aristocratic living. The arched medallion back curves gracefully into scroll-carved arms, while the cabriole legs with their foliate feet echo the organic, nature-inspired vocabulary that defined an entire era of European decorative arts.

Frame & Finish

The chair's solid wood frame is meticulously hand-carved by Brass & Wood master artisans in Egypt, then dressed in a warm gold-leaf finish that brings depth and luminosity to every scrolled acanthus leaf and shell motif. The antiqued gilding lends a sense of age and provenance without sacrificing brilliance.

Upholstery

The seat, back, and inner arm panels are upholstered in a rich sage-teal brocade woven with raised golden floral and botanical motifs. The fabric's lustrous two-tone palette — cool seafoam against warm gold — creates a refined contrast that complements the gilded frame. Nailhead-free seams preserve the fabric's flowing botanical narrative.

Craftsmanship

Every chair is individually hand-finished, ensuring that no two pieces are identical. Brass & Wood's commitment to classical European replication means each joint, each carved leaf, and each metre of upholstery is executed to the standards of the original court workshops — brought to life in Cairo and delivered to your living room.
