Fauteuil à accoudoirs
c. 1937
Imagine sinking into this royal-looking throne, captured here in a meticulous study by Elisabeth Fulda around 1937. The armchair is a stunning example of Rococo Revival style, featuring a dark, heavily carved wooden frame dripping with grape clusters and floral scrolls. Although created during the modernist era, the subject matter acts like a time machine back to 18th-century opulence, showcasing elegant cabriole legs and an ornate crest rail. The yellow upholstery looks incredibly plush against the rigid woodwork, making you wonder if this was a design proposal for a wealthy client or a preservation of a historical masterpiece.
