EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Fashionable armchairs of 1788," is an exquisite depiction of two elegant armchairs that once graced the opulent interiors of the French aristocracy during the reign of Marie Antoinette. The image, taken from the esteemed journal "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times," was published in Paris in 1885 by the Comte de Reiset and features the meticulous observations of Madame Eloffe, the dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the court. The first armchair, a bergère, is upholstered in striped silk and adorned with intricate carvings in walnut. The design of the bergère, with its distinctive high back and curved arms, was a popular choice for seating in the 18th century, providing both comfort and an air of sophistication. The striped silk fabric, a trend favoured by the aristocracy, adds a touch of elegance and refinement to the piece. The second armchair, a fauteuil, is covered in Aubusson tapestry and embellished with elaborate carvings in walnut. Aubusson tapestries were renowned for their intricate designs, often inspired by nature and mythology, and were a symbol of wealth and status in the 18th century. The fauteuil, with its low back and padded arms, was another popular seating option, offering a more relaxed and informal appearance. The harmonious combination of these two fashionable armchairs, with their sumptuous fabrics and elegant carvings, evokes the grandeur and sophistication of the Versailles court during the late 18th century. This image provides a glimpse into the world of the aristocracy, offering a glimpse into the opulent interiors and fashionable trends of the time.
