This Edwardian salon armchair dates from the 1900 period and is constructed from dark brown mahogany with contrasting light boxwood line inlay. The open armchair exhibits a high arched backrest inset with a decorated vasiform splat featuring foliate marquetry and additional inlay across the top rail, paired with swept wooden armrests and tapering legs. The drop-in seat is upholstered in a patterned fabric in tones of beige and gold, finished with a matching braided trim along the lower edge. Measuring 94 cm high, 56 cm wide, and 40.5 cm deep, this seating piece works practically in a living room, bedroom, or hallway as a decorative occasional chair.

FAQs

Edwardian salon armchairs were crafted between 1901 and 1910, designed primarily for formal reception rooms or parlours. Drawing inspiration from 18th-century Sheraton and Hepplewhite proportions, these chairs feature light frames, open arms, and detailed wood inlays.

These chairs were constructed predominantly from mahogany timber, accented with boxwood, satinwood, or ebony stringing and marquetry motifs. The upholstered seats traditionally featured webbed bases filled with horsehair or cotton padding, finished in fabric options such as damask or brocade.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut joinery, including mortise and tenon joints, with boxwood or satinwood stringing seated flush against the mahogany surface. Natural ageing in structural joinery, proportioned swept arms, and original surface finish details further indicate genuine period origins.

Position the armchair as a singular accent piece alongside a contemporary side table or within a reading corner to create textural contrast. Updating the seat upholstery with a modern neutral linen can seamlessly bridge historical dark wood framing with contemporary decor.

Dust timber elements regularly using a soft dry cloth, applying high-grade beeswax along the wood grain once or twice per year. Maintain stable humidity levels and avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent veneer lifting or fabric discolouration.
