Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Hand-stitched floral needlework: typical late nineteenth-century wool embroidery work.
Painted finish rubbed through on arm terminals and knees: decades of natural handling wear.
Rococo shell and scroll carving: characteristic Italian revival decoration of the period.
Small shrinkage hairline at the frame crest: natural movement in seasoned timber.

This pair of late 19th-century Italian armchairs follows the Rococo style. The carved wooden frames have a cream painted and gesso finish, accented with cabriole legs and shell details on the cresting and apron, showing some rubbing to the paintwork in places. The upholstery consists of wool textile needlework in cream, featuring floral decoration that depicts urns filled with pink, orange, and white flowers, alongside detailed embroidery on both the seats and backrests. Each armchair measures 108 cm high, 67 cm wide, and 62 cm deep. Suitable for domestic placement in a living room, study, or bedroom, these armchairs provide comfortable seating options while adding a decorative focal point. The carved wooden construction and needlework upholstery combine traditional craftsmanship with period aesthetics, making them functional furniture items for daily use or as statement pieces within interior settings.

FAQs

Italian Rococo armchairs are distinguished by fluid curvilinear silhouettes, hand-carved ornamentation, cabriole legs, and painted or polychrome finishes that reflect eighteenth-century design influences.

Frames were typically constructed from woods such as beech or lime, finished with layers of gesso and tempera paint, while the upholstery featured wool or silk hand-worked needlepoint onto canvas backing.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved frame joinery, irregular stitching on the reverse of the needlework, natural surface craquelure, and legitimate wear to original paint finishes.

Positioning a pair of painted armchairs opposite a contemporary sofa creates a balanced layout that contrasts historic craft textures against clean modern lines.

Needlework upholstery should be gently vacuumed using a low-suction setting with a soft brush attachment, kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fibre fading, and protected from excess humidity.
