The louis XIV armchair models follow those of the previous period: that of Louis XV. 

This period corresponded to the creation of Boulle-style furniture, furniture with wood encrustation and precious materials. This marquetry can be found on some armchairs. The seats are distinguished by their essences but also by the shape of the feet in baluster or by the feet called console.

Description of the Louis XIV armchair

The Louis XIV armchair from the 1661 to 1715 period has a frame with a higher and more upside back. 

The stoise goes from an H-shape to an X-shape. The corrugated accotoir exceeds the console that supports it. The accotoir console extends to the foot with cuffs.

It is now difficult to find Louis XIV armchairs, antiques are usually completely restored, the fabrics to line them have become impossible to find. The furniture being very busy, it is now abandoned for more modern models like the Louis XV convertible chair.
