EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the essence of luxury and sophistication in 18th century France. The fashionable armchairs of 1788, a bergere in striped silk and carved walnut, and an armchair in Aubusson tapestry and carved walnut, showcase the opulence of the era.
The intricate details of the furniture pieces reflect the craftsmanship and elegance that were synonymous with French nobility during Marie Antoinette's reign. The striped silk upholstery adds a touch of refinement to the bergere, while the Aubusson tapestry on the other armchair exudes grandeur.
These pieces not only served as functional seating but also as symbols of status and wealth for those who owned them. The ornate carvings on the walnut frames further emphasize their luxurious nature.
As seen through the eyes of Madame Eloffe, dressmaker to Queen Marie Antoinette and her courtiers, these armchairs were essential elements in creating a lavish living space fit for royalty. They are a testament to the impeccable taste and style that defined French aristocracy during this period.
This print is not just a depiction of furniture; it is a window into a world where fashion, artistry, and culture intersected to create timeless masterpieces that continue to inspire awe centuries later.
