This elegant spider back armchair is most likely an authentic Ethan Allen piece, crafted in the refined Hepplewhite tradition known for its neoclassical symmetry and light, graceful forms. With its detailed woodwork and distinctive upholstery, this chair is a striking blend of American craftsmanship and European-inspired design.
Design & Features:
The solid wood frame, likely mahogany, has a deep, rich finish that highlights its elegant carving and structure.
The round backrest features a signature “spider web” or “wheel back” design with a central carved floral medallion, one of the most recognizable motifs of Hepplewhite style.
Curved armrests provide both comfort and elegance, possibly accented with carved details or medallion elements at the joins.
The seat is upholstered in A. L. Diament & Co.’s “Balloon de Neumours” fabric—a light cream or white base with a whimsical hot air balloon toile design in contrasting yellow or gold, adding a playful yet classic touch.
Supported by tapered legs, which may be fluted or subtly carved, in keeping with the period styling.
Style & Use:
Perfect for a dining room, study, entryway, or accent corner, this chair bridges formal tradition with a bit of French charm. Its timeless silhouette and high-quality upholstery make it an excellent statement piece or complement to other antiques and traditional furniture.

Flat-rate delivery starting at $325 within the contiguous United States.
