19th C. Deconstructed Napoleon III Armchair

A charming French Napoleon III Bergere armchair dating from the late 19th century. The chair is of solid wood construction and is fairly low to the ground with a slightly arched back and low outwardly scrolled armrests. The seat rests upon ebonized turned legs on casters in the front and elegantly shaped legs in the back.

The chair has been deconstructed (as found) revealing the burlap lining (which we love!). Original straw and horsehair stuffing are still intact!

Whether left as-is or reupholstered in a fresh linen fabric, this classic accent chair is perfect for bringing a bit of French je ne sais quoi to any room of the home.
