It has inspiration from a classic French armchair, though this chair is made and produced in Denmark during the period of the mid 1800s up until 1900, where the Danish architects seeked inspiration from their french collegues. The Chairs features a curved back with intricate carvings, cabriole legs, and a curved apron adorned with Louis XV floral motifs. The graceful scroll feet and overall design make it a perfect fit for a French provincial or Hamptons-style home.

The velvet upholstery is in near-perfect condition, incredibly soft and light, offering a beautiful contrast to the deep color of the wood. The seat's springs remain firm and strong, and the solid frame is in near perfect condition. Altough this is an antique piece, it’s important to always lift it from underneath, not by the armrests, to ensure it lasts another hundred years. These chairs are in absolutely great shape and a rare set in this condition.

Additionally, a matching Armchair, sofa and dining arm chair are available for sale. The design is reminiscent of the Reine style, with beautiful floral ornaments on the back and legs of the frame. The wood is likely walnut, showcasing an absolutely stunning grain and finish. See less
