{"product_id":"mugg-117","title":"MUGG-117 — , Armchair (fauteuil à la reine) (ca. 1690–1710)","description":"Fabric. Acquisition 1 of 4.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe velvet on this late-Louis XIV fauteuil is not original. The work is rooted in ca. 1690–1710, which frames how the image is read now. A seventeenth-century wool velvet was sourced and applied later, which means the upholstery now worn into the carved and gilded walnut frame is itself a act of historical interpretation, one restorer's judgment about what fabric a Parisian workshop might have chosen around 1700.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat judgment is the substance of the first acquisition in a four-part series on the technical mastery of cloth: how a replacement textile, cut and tensioned over rails and seat frame, can carry the full authority of a period it never inhabited. The original fauteuil remains in the collection at @metmuseum. MUGGMUSEET holds the ceramic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis work entered the collection on 2026-08-18.
