Upholstered Rococo Revival Armchair

This is an upholstered armchair, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, exhibiting characteristics of the Rococo Revival style, though it may be a later reproduction. The chair features a solid wood frame with a dark, polished finish, possibly mahogany or a similarly dark-stained hardwood. The frame is elaborately carved, with visible decorative elements along the crest rail of the back, the arm supports, and the knees of the cabriole legs. The backrest is oval-shaped, and both the back and seat are generously padded and upholstered. The upholstery, which the context indicates has been reupholstered, is a damask or brocade fabric with an intricate floral and foliate pattern in shades of cream, beige, and possibly light green or gold. A decorative braided trim in a coordinating color (light gold/beige) outlines the upholstery edges on both the back and seat. The armrests have small, padded sections at the top for comfort. The front legs are distinctly cabriole style, terminating in what appear to be scrolled or possibly paw feet, though details are blurred. The rear legs are less ornamental, likely also curved. The overall construction suggests a piece designed for comfort and aesthetic appeal, typical of parlor or drawing-room furniture. The condition of the wood frame appears stable, with a good sheen, suggesting it has been cared for or possibly refinished. The new upholstery is clean and tight, indicating recent work.
