So the pattern is a medieval hunting party, riders and hounds moving through dense forest, on a chair built low and sprung for actual sitting. Someone also paid to cover the outside of the back in the same cloth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 44.25 in H | 25 in W | 23 in D\u003cbr\u003e[d]Finish | Later finish, method not established\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e[d]Upholstery | Woven jacquard, medieval hunting scene\u003cbr\u003e[d]Pattern | Tapisserie médiévale, after late medieval Franco-Flemish hunt tapestry\u003cbr\u003e[d]Primary Material | Stained hardwood, species not established\u003cbr\u003e[d]Period | Antique\u003cbr\u003e[d]Date | Circa 1900\u003cbr\u003e[d]Origin | Continental Europe\u003cbr\u003e[d]Style | Louis Philippe manner\u003cbr\u003e[d]Also Known As | fauteuil Voltaire\u003cbr\u003e[d]Construction | Sprung seat, tacked cambric dust cover, segmented crest rail, show fabric applied under nailhead\u003cbr\u003e[d]Hardware | Dome nailhead trim, two finishes present\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSold as found, with wear a buyer should plan around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBoth arm pads are worn through to the backing and wadding, with frayed edges lifting from the nailhead line and a section pulled free of the tacking on the left arm. Both need recovering. The seat is heavily soiled and darkened, with the pattern flattened and abraded across the center, though the weave is intact with no holes or splits. The seat springs have lost tension and press visibly against the cambric cover underneath without coming through it, so the seat has softened and would benefit from a re-tie alongside the arms. The outside back is the best surface on the chair, fully legible and undamaged, with light grime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe frame finish is rubbed through to bare wood along the top of both arm supports, heavily on the left. There is scuffing along the right side of the seat rail, chips and losses along its lower edge exposing raw wood, a bare patch on the front right rail near the leg, and abrasion at the tips of both front feet. The nailhead trim appears in two finishes, brighter around the back panel and darker around the seat and arms, with a few nails sitting proud near the arm terminals. The chair has been re-nailed at least in part, and the present covering is not the first to the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe frame is a stained hardwood. The species cannot be confirmed, since the finish covers every readable surface and the underside is closed with a dust cover. The date is a construction-based estimate. There is no maker's mark, label, or stamp on any accessible surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003ccode\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#146\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51482662666518,"sku":"AMD-03584","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Belgium_FranceInventoryContinued-7126.jpg?v=1784913316","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/antique-louis-philippe-style-tapestry-armchair","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
