Reproduction of antique model. Louis XV Hair-Dressing Armchair Queen’s-style grooming armchair, around 1760 Original: collection of a Brussels’s antique dealer.
Simple and lively, this grooming armchair, also called chair «à perruques» (wig chair) or «à coiffer» (hair-dressing chair), seems to have been designed to facilitate the dressing of a lady’s hair. The top rail of the back is designed to allow access to the head. Usually, it was cabriolet chairs that were in favour for this particular arrangement. The simple moulding is enlivened by a bundle bound with stylised ribbon, which adds further elegance to this charming piece of furniture.
The general shape of the structural design and its finish are evocative of the simple works of the Gourdin dynasty or the more refined ones of a certain Nicolas-Quinibert Foliot. Louis XV Style The French style period from approximately 1730 to 1770, although this king was on the throne from 1715 (the Regence period ran from 1715 to 1723) until 1774. Inspiration taken from plants, hence a curvilinear style.
