* The name "Fauteuil à la Reine" (Queen's Armchair) appeared in 1730 during the second half of the 18th century. This type of armchair was brought up to date by Queen Marie Leczinska (1703 – 1768), wife of Louis XV. The Queen's armchair is a Louis XV and Louis XVI style seat characterized by its flat back (rectangular, square, oval, violin-shaped). Manufactured until the end of the 18th century, the Queen's armchair is adorned with cartouches, shells and clasps decorated with water leaves or acanthus. This Louis XV armchair favors richly flowered tapestries, bordered with gilded or lacquered wood. The Queen's armchair is described as "furniture" because its more massive design does not predispose it to being moved. (See Antic Store website)
