French 19th Century Louis XV Walnut Side Chair or Dining Chair

Elegant 19th century French Louis XV walnut dining or side chair featuring the classic form definitive of the Rococo style, with violin-shaped seat back, generous seat, and a hand carved apron supported by four cabriole legs ending in escargot or snail feet. The crest of the seat back has been carved with shell and foliates, and the front legs feature a Florentine flourish with scrolled feet and upturned acanthus leaf, with the center of the apron between the legs lavished with carvings complementary to the aforementioned seat back crest. A lovely patina has developed in the lovely walnut wood over the past century lending a pleasing warm coloration. Upholstery is fairly recent and in good, serviceable condition. Lovely at a dressing table, or as a side or accent chair; would add elegance to any room in the home! Circa 1890s!
