Why You’ll Love It
This magnificent OOAK Victorian fireside armchair by Jill Dianne captures the sculptural elegance of the Louis XV fauteuil with graceful curves and ornate Rococo carving. The hand-carved wood frame features a softly aged gilded finish, embodying true French salon refinement.
Upholstered in moss-green mohair velvet (front and back), it showcases a delicate needlepoint floral medallion framed in gold cord. Elegant cabriole legs end in brass caster feet, completing its period detail. Signed underneath, this piece is a refined focal point for a salon or fireside vignette.
It pairs beautifully with the matching Rococo salon sofa settee and the armless slipper chair, both listed separately.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
