Decorative Antiques - Furniture
Reference: Z6481
“Voltaire” armchair in rosewood. The Voltaire armchair is a particular type of armchair with arms, a low seat and a high back that became particularly popular during the reign of Louis-Philippe I of France (1773–1850; monarch from 1830 to 1848). The name probably derives from its association with the French writer François-Marie Arouet (1694–1778), better known by his pseudonym, Voltaire. The piece of furniture features two rollers on its front legs, simple carved decoration and tapestry-like upholstery on the arms, back and seat.
