Description

A pair of French Empire style ebonised armchairs with fine eagle head mounts.

These fine armchairs, in the early 19th century Empire style, were made in France c.1910. The ebonised finish contrasts beautifully with the fine ormolu mounts, including acanthus leaf designs, hoof feet, round paterae and, most striking of all, chased eagles' heads to the ends of the arms. The quality of the mounts indicates that these chairs were produced by an important workshop of the period. The chairs are ready to be upholstered.

Date of Manufacture

Lee Wright Antiques & Interiors Ltd has dated this French Ebonised Armchair to the 1910s.

FAQs

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and consulting a professional restorer for delicate historic fabrics and structural repairs.

They serve as striking focal points in contemporary spaces, providing a sharp textural contrast against neutral walls, minimalist upholstery, or modern architectural elements.

Authentication relies on examining joinery techniques, such as traditional mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved detailing, patination on the timber, and the construction of the internal webbing and upholstery layers.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or beech, which are then ebonised to mimic ebony, and are often accented with cast or gilded brass fittings.

The French Empire style, prominent in the early 19th century, draws heavily from neoclassical motifs, featuring clean structural lines, dark ebonised finishes, and classical bronze or brass mounts.
