Sophie french chairs

 

This is a Louis xv Chair.

It looks comfortable, which is a characteristic.

Other characteristics include the curviness of it all, S shape in the front arm supports.

scroll feet on the legs, gilted shell on the knees, and asymmetrical ornamentation for example the floral design on crest rail.



Regence between Louis XIV and Louis XV

You will see the Os de Mouton  stretcher legs characteristic of LOUIS XIV. , but the comfort of Louis XV is there.

The Arm supports are not straight but curved inwards, again characteristic of Regency towards Louis XV,
