AN EARLY LOUIS XV GILTWOOD FAUTEUIL

This grandly scaled and dynamically carved fauteuil is almost certainly en suite with a pair of fauteuils with identical idiosyncratic ruffled carving to the crest and seat rails in the Musée du Louvre and illustrated in B.G.B. Pallot, Furniture Collections in the Louvre, 1993, Vol. 2, p. 58, pl. 16.
