Armchair Napoleon III

Armchair napoleon III to restore partially, structure in good condition and solid but the velvet of the seat are to be reviewed. A period of decadence, the second empire (1852-1870) wanted to impose prestige through pageantry, parties and luxury, in contrast to the bourgeois reign of the discreet louis-philippe. The napoleon III style is the last style to bear the name of a sovereign. Considered eclectic, this style is based on a revival of the styles of yesteryear. Everything about him is borrowed from the styles that preceded him. Instead of drawing their inspiration from a single era, the cabinetmakers and decorators of the second empire drew indiscriminately, with joyful exuberance, from all sources. This mixture of styles manifests itself in the decorative arts not successively but simultaneously. Very decorative, spacious and comfortable. Seat height: 30 cm.
