Louis XV Voltaire armchair in red velvet

Voltaire armchair or small Louis XV-style aviary, probably dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, featuring a buttoned backrest with enveloping curves. Made with a carved wooden structure with curved legs — likely in beech or walnut — it is upholstered in bright red velvet highlighted by a matching trim. Its welcoming size and classic elegance will easily find a place in a cosy living room, a bedroom, or a warm reading nook. Condition: The structure is perfectly sound, stable, and functional, with the red velvet in generally good condition and well-preserved buttoning. The wood shows an authentic patina of use, with some light marks and superficial scratches mainly visible on the uprights and the base. Subtle signs of life that testify to its history while preserving its timeless charm.
