Fauteuil

A fauteuil (French: [fotœj]) is a style of open-armchair with a primarily exposed wooden frame originating in France during the early 17th century.

A fauteuil is made of wood and frequently with carved relief ornament.

Some fauteuils have a valenced front seat rail which is padding that extends slightly over the apron.

The exposed wooden elements are often gilded or otherwise painted.
