Description

If you would like these chairs upholstered please click yes in the upholstery drop down menu. These would require 12 metres of material (6m 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 unusual pair of Napoleon III armchairs. Not only do these chairs have the pie crust detail which I absolutely love. They also have a wide fishtail back and wider than average seat making them a hugely decorative and comfy pair of chairs. Elegant turned legs as well.

FAQs

The Napoleon III style, spanning the Second French Empire from 1852 to 1870, revived and reinterpreted historical motifs from the Louis XIV, XV, and XVI periods, blending eclectic luxury with comfort.

These pieces typically utilized robust internal frames of beech or walnut, supported by traditional coil springing, horsehair stuffing, and finished with fine textiles and brass tack detailing.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery, hand-tied springs, natural stuffing materials, and distinct structural forms such as serpentine lines and turned wooden legs often equipped with castors.

Pairing these historical seats with minimalist modern architecture or contrasting neutral textiles creates a sophisticated focal point that balances traditional craftsmanship with clean lines.

Preservation requires keeping the pieces away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent textile degradation and wood drying, alongside gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment.
