Louis Philippe Style Bergère Accent Chair

This is a Louis Philippe style armchair, likely dating from the mid-to-late 19th century or a high-quality early 20th-century revival. The piece features a characteristic solid wood frame—likely mahogany or walnut—with a warm, lustrous finish. The silhouette is defined by a high, rounded backrest and gently curved 'manchette' padded armrests supported by gracefully S-curved cabriole legs. The upholstery is a dark, possibly charcoal or deep navy fabric, which appears to be a modern replacement given its clean, taut appearance. The seat features a slightly scalloped front rail, adding a refined decorative touch typical of French furniture from this era. A four-paneled, checkered accent pillow in cream and beige rests on the seat. The wood shows a well-developed patina with minor scuffs and age-appropriate wear visible on the lower legs and arm supports. No manufacturer stamps or signatures are immediately visible, but the smooth joinery and elegant proportions indicate skilled craftsmanship. The chair stands as a classic example of transitional French design, blending the opulence of earlier periods with the more restrained comfort of the mid-1800s.
