Napoleon III Buttoned Curved Back Armchair

19th century
Description

This is a very elegant and well designed 19th century French armchair. It is a great size which means it works well in corners of rooms but is great quality so can be an everyday chair as well. Stands on tall turned legs with casters.

Height 89cm Width 77cm Depth 80cm Depth of seat 50cm Height of seat 40cm

(On my website) If you would like this armchair upholstered please click yes in the upholstery drop down menu. This would require 4 metres of material. You can supply your own or please get in touch and we will send you the list of fabric companies we work with.

All my antique armchairs have been fully restored, springs, legs, padding etc so these will stand the test of time even if used everyday.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Originating in France during the Second Empire era, Napoleon III seating is characterised by a focus on comfort, lavish upholstery, deep buttoning, curved silhouettes, and compact proportions designed for social drawing rooms.

Frameworks were constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or oak, filled with hand-stitched horsehair and webbing padding, and finished with turned wooden legs mounted on brass castors.

Authentic period examples feature hand-turned timber legs, hand-tufted deep buttoning with substantial padding, traditional iron coil spring construction, and period brass castors rather than modern screw-in feet.

Position the chair in a bedroom corner, dressing area, or living room reading nook to introduce sculptural organic curves and tactile fabric texture against modern architectural lines.

Vacuum the upholstery regularly using a low-suction soft brush attachment, keep the chair away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent fabric deterioration, and nourish the wooden legs with clear beeswax.
