Description

If you would like these chairs upholstered please click yes in the upholstery drop down menu. These would require 10 metres of material (5m per chair). 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 armchairs have been fully restored, springs, legs, padding etc so these will stand the test of time even if used everyday.

These are a very high quality pair of square back French armchairs. The simplicity of the design makes these a classic seat that will work well in a large number of interiors. Generous sizes as well.

FAQs

The Napoleon III style, popular during the Second French Empire, draws inspiration from a eclectic mix of historical eras including Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI, characterised by comfort, rich upholstery, and often ebonised or gilt wood frames.

These pieces typically utilized solid timber frames such as beech or walnut, frequently ebonised, paired with traditional stuffing materials like horsehair, wool, and coil springs for deep upholstery support.

Authentic pieces generally feature period joinery techniques, hand-tied coil springs, traditional webbing, and wear consistent with age, such as patina on the timber and hand-hammered tack detailing.

Pairing these historical chairs with contemporary minimalist furniture or sleek lighting creates a striking contrast, allowing the ornate silhouette and texture to serve as a focal point.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming with a low-suction attachment, keeping the chairs away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and occasionally conditioning exposed wooden elements with appropriate conservation wax.
