This Louix XVI period Neoclassical barrel-shaped bergère (or armchair) has a wooden frame and orange-tan leather upholstery, the latter of which also wraps the exterior of the chair’s back and sides. The chair is supported by four swept sabre legs. The front of the seat rail and the forward ends of the curved toprail terminate in carved, Neoclassical scrolls. The chair is expressive of the refined simplicity of form that characterises much of Neoclassical period design.
