19th Century French Louis XIV Applewood Tapestry Armchair features its original hand-knotted needlepoint tapestry depicting naturalistic scenes including avian and foliate motifs with subtly colored stylized flowers, all set on an olive background.  The sheer natural beauty of the apple wood has been allowed to shine forth with the finish, and the wood was expertly sculpted with scrolled forms, acanthus leaves, rosettes, paw feet and a pierce-carved apron for incredible visual appeal!  Back upholstery has a blemish.
