The French have a curious tradition of naming certain armchairs "crapaud" (toad), due to their low, squat shape that amusingly resembles a toad. This particular crapaud armchair is from the Napoléon III period (second half of the 19th century).
It features elegant blackened wood legs with casters at the front, adding both charm and practicality. The armchair is comfortable and inviting with its wide and low seat, making it perfect for a bedroom. It has been reupholstered in a stunning pale blue French embossed velvet, which has a shimmering quality.
This beautiful piece combines historical elegance with modern comfort, making it a delightful addition to any room.
