A Renaissance Revival ("Henri II" style) throne armchair in richly carved oak, with a tall back crowned by a pierced crest of scrolling foliage, finials, and confronting fantastical creatures, flanked by barley-twist colonnettes, the central back panel upholstered in polychrome tapestry-like fabric with geometric, architectural motifs. The armrests terminate in carved dragon or lion heads in the round, resting on twist-turned supports, with matching twist-turned legs joined by a sculpted H-form stretcher carved with rosettes. Highly fashionable in France and Belgium in the second half of the 19th century, dating this piece to circa 1870-1890.
