With its dark patinated wood, this second-hand armchair brings a refined country touch to a living room or bedroom. Its wooden structure and armrests give it a sober presence, while the generous seat invites you to settle in comfortably to read or share a coffee. Its dimensions allow it to fit near a window, next to a side table, or in a cozy corner without weighing down the space. The seat height offers a pleasant position for everyday use, and the wide seat enhances its comfort. Placed with a wool blanket and a book resting on the armrest, it creates a warm decor. Like any vintage furniture, it holds memories of its past: a few marks and visible signs of wear as shown in the photos. Width: 54 cm Depth: 45 cm Height: 79 cm Seat height: 47 cm Seat width: 50 cm Seat depth: 40 cm A brief history of the armchair If the chair is made for work or dining, the armchair was born in the 17th century for one sole purpose: rest. Its name derives from the Old French "faudesteuil," a folding seat for dignitaries, but it emancipated under Louis XV to become this comfort furniture with armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors a wider seat and an inclined backrest, inviting conversation rather than a rigid posture. Whether it's a "bergère" with full cheeks to shelter from drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
