Louis XV Coiffeuse Armchair

We recently added this wonderful armchair to our available antique inventory. It's quite charming and rare - it had a specific use as well as being made later in the Louis XV period, as it was just beginning to transition into the Louis XVI style. So to highlight the unique character of this chair we are trying something new - a short video clip, similar to our Trade Tips, explaining briefly some of the chair's finer qualities in what we hope is a more engaging format.

Hope you enjoy it.

Trade Tips: 18th Century French Chairs

Here is our third Trade Tips video clip! Tony Victoria covers the defining characteristics of Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI chairs as well as the transitional periods. He offers some great details to look for to help you identify the different styles. We hope you find it useful and enjoyable!

Note: you may need to to turn up your volume since we had to film a bit farther away this time to fit everything in the shot. Sorry!

Found in the Warehouse

These are some of my favorite items hiding in the warehouse. This is one of a pair of Louis XV 5-light candelabra gilt bronze mounts. Originally, they were used to display a porcelain figure or object in the center. I can't wait to use them for a special project!
Have a Happy 4th of July!
