PAIR OF LOUIS XV PERIOD "À LA REINE" ARMCHAIRS Attributed to René Cresson In molded and carved beech, the back and belt decorated with a pomegranate among foliage, the shoulders with a scale motif, the cambered legs ending in a scroll, upholstered in green velvet with floral decoration. H.:96 cm (37 ¾ in.) w.:67cm (26 ¼ in.) René Cresson, master in 1738 A pair of Louis XV carved beechwood fauteuils a la reine, attributed to Rene Cresson Stylistically dated to the 1740s, this elegant pair of fauteuils à la reine can be traced back to the work of René Cresson (circa 1705-before 1749), Master in 1738 and a member of the eminent dynasty of Parisian joiners active in the first half of the 18th century. The exploded pomegranate motif that decorates the back and waist of our armchairs could be considered one of their signatures; it is found with minute variations on a large number of seats executed by this famous joiner, such as a pair of fauteuils à la reine stamped by René Cresson (master in 1738) sold at Hôtel Drouot, Paris, on December 15, 1998 and illustrated in P.
