Why You’ll Love It
This remarkable Rococo armchair miniature by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MMA, 2013) is a faithful tribute to an 18th-century upholstered chair. Sculpted entirely from hand-painted clay, it features an aged gilt frame with graceful curves and ornate detailing.
The “upholstery” is intricately painted to resemble green velvet with delicate floral embroidery, creating a convincing illusion of textile. Signed MMA, it’s a striking focal point for a salon, writing desk, or drawing room vignette.
