A set of four armchairs with a molded, carved, and lacquered - Lot 69
A set of four armchairs with a molded, carved, and lacquered walnut frame. The flat backrest features removable cuff-style armrests supported by console brackets. The undulating waistband rests on curved legs. Upholstered in petit point tapestry featuring a design of flowering stems and foliage. Stamped L CRESSON Louis CRESSON I (1706–1761), named a master in 1738 Paris. Louis XV period. H_97 cm W_65 cm D_53 cm (Restorations to the backrests and foot tips. Reinforcements to the aprons. Minor restorations to the tapestries, small imperfections, one damaged leg). The son of the cabinetmaker Jean Cresson, he established his workshop on Rue de Cléry under the sign “L’Image de Saint-Louis.” He went on to become the cabinetmaker to the Prince of Condé and the Duke of Orléans. He was commissioned to make a wheelchair for the grandson of Louis XV, the young Duke of Burgundy, who had become disabled. With great care, Louis Cresson crafted all manner of seats—upholstered in tapestry, fabric, or cane—in a Louis XV style featuring elegant curves and equally understated carved decorations. Some models are adorned with Regency-inspired motifs. Expert: Stéphane PEPE Expert: Stephane PEPE
