Lot no. 174
A suite of four giltwood armchairs with flat rounded backs, decorated with foliage, trelliswork and a floral cartouche, resting on cambered legs, upholstered in petit point tapestry, with an antique label inscribed in ink: Villargenne
Partly Louis XV period
H. 102 cm - W. 70 cm
Worn tapestry, tears and missing pieces particularly on the seats
Many rails, uprights and legs redone; later gilding with wear
The Villargenne label is most likely a reference to the Château de Montvillargenne, owned by Baroness Léonino, née Jeanne de Rothschild (1874-1829). In this hypothesis, these armchairs could have come from either the French branch of the family (her father Nathan) or the German branch (her mother Laura, daughter of Mayer Carl).
