This 19th century armchair is inspired by the finest, model of upholstered armchair which was the pinnacle of status and introduced from 1685-1695. This was the first, fully upholstered armchair, which evolved from the open, upholstered armchair. It was conceived as a visual display of the finest, textiles of the period and consequently very expensive and supplied only to Royal and Noble households where it would be reserved for the monarch or head of the household.
