1stdibs Armchair - Caquetoire Perspective Motif From Lyon French Renaissance Wood, Walnut
The trapezoidal armchair is a typically French creation from the second half of the sixteenth century. Although the nineteenth century gave it the name of "caquetoire", it was described in the inventories of the sixteenth century as chairs with arms in the shape of a talmouse (evoking its trapezoidal shape) to designate this seat. Four legs are arranged in a trapezoid shape, the front of which are columns with curved shafts, the rear of which are square in cross-section and connected by a brace. The uprights of the backrest are fitted with curved, wrap-around armrests, the ends of which rest on a support that is baluster-shaped. The showy wood seat had no fixed fabric upholstery. The standard version also gave rise to variants, particularly regional ones, mainly in the choice of ornamentat
