......What I would give to own and sit in a chair like this.....a glorious Typical Louis XIII carved Walnut Throne-I saw one a few weeks ago here at a Brocante and soooooo wanted to take it home, but the price-tag and my beloved other half wouldn't allow it.....maybe one day, I might be lucky on the Lottery?-one never knows! You can but dream I suppose,but then I would need more than one because I would buy a Chateau and FILL it with furniture like this.........hmmmmm
ANYWAY.....on Sunday just gone, I found the remains of one of these chairs at the Brocante we visited.....no arms,legs or frame .....but the Stunning Tapestry Upholstery from one very same Louis XIII "Throne"-I shrieked when I saw it and started muttering..."Want it,Gotta Have it" so John grabbed me by the arm and marched me off in the opposite direction insisting there was loads more to look at and ponder over but I'm afraid despite many other delightful objects we saw, liked,even bought, the Tapestry pieces had me hooked and I eventually got my own way...................
They are listed today and they are absolutely WONDERFUL. The colours are divine,so warming and still, despite years upon years of use and exposure to sunlight-still bright,though they may need a little gentle Laundering to freshen them up.
These Tapestry pieces are a back seat Panel and a Seat Panel of a Louis XIII Chair-but they have been offered separately so that they may either be converted for other projects,or jointly bid upon if so wished for anyone lucky enough to own such a chair which may need re-upholstering.
The Plush Woolwork is amazing................
the Medieval Theme evokes an atmosphere of a Bygone age where such wonderful workmanship seemed to be the norm.......and is just so utterly fascinating.....
As a special treat-we have started these, and a few of our other Special and most beautiful items at the ridiculous price of 0.99 Centimes to allow Everyone to have a go at owning them-so go on,Spoil yourself!-Happy Bidding!!! Bon Courage!
I have a chair similar to this one that I am willing to sell. It had been in my parents' house, and it just doesn't suit my home or my taste.
