From the esteemed collection of Monique De Wulf, this 17th-century French Renaissance oak caquetoire is a stunning example of the elegance and craftsmanship of its time. Celebrated for her refined taste and passion for historical European design, De Wulf curated a collection that highlighted timeless artistry. This armchair features meticulously carved floral and scroll motifs on its front stretcher, apron, and legs, while the seat back showcases a dramatic dragon above a soldier’s profile in a helmet, reflecting the grandeur of the Renaissance era. The egg-and-dart trim on the armrests further enhances its classical beauty. A rare find, this caquetoire is a testament to Renaissance artistry and a fitting tribute to De Wulf’s discerning eye for European antiques.

-In an entryway or hallway, where it can be appreciated as a standalone piece.
-A a unique statement piece in a living room. Place it near a side table with a small decorative object or plant, allowing its Renaissance motifs and rich oak finish to bring old-world sophistication to the space. less
