Elevate your interiors with this striking vintage Louis XIII style open armchair, expertly crafted from richly carved solid walnut. This magnificent fauteuil captures the bold elegance of 17th-century French design, bringing a timeless, architectural presence to any room. The chair is upholstered in a luxurious red and ivory fabric, showcasing a refined small-scale chevron or zigzag pattern. The textured weave, reminiscent of a basketweave or distressed textile, adds subtle depth and character, perfectly complementing the intricate walnut frames. A classic brass nailhead trim outlines the upholstery, adding a sophisticated finishing touch.

True to Louis XIII tradition, the chair features turned wood detailing, and knobbed (”en chapelet”) forms on the legs and supports. The generously padded seats and backs offer comfort as well as style, secured with decorative nailheads that highlight the craftsmanship. The sturdy H-stretcher base provides additional strength and authenticity, while the turned wood arms, legs, and stretchers reflect the artistry and balance emblematic of this historic style.

Solid, stately, and filled with historic French charm, this chair is perfect for formal living spaces, refined libraries, or as distinguished accent pieces. A true blend of timeless design and exquisite craftsmanship. A pair is available. See less
