This open arm armchair dates from the 1900 Victorian period and follows the Rococo Revival style. The exposed timber frame displays a warm brown tone with carved cresting at the top of the backrest, curved open arms with padded armrests, and cabriole legs fitted with brass castors. Cream-coloured upholstery covers the seat and the button-tufted backrest, showing noticeable grubby wear and staining on the seat surface. The structure stands 108 cm high, 66 cm wide, and 85 cm deep. Suitability for contemporary interiors places this seating option in a living room, study, or bedroom as a reading chair or accent seat. The traditional woodwork and pale textile bring a period aesthetic to a domestic setting while providing functional seating with visible signs of age on the fabric.

FAQs

Originating in the mid-19th century, Rococo Revival furniture draws inspiration from 18th-century French designs, featuring elaborate scrollwork, cabriole legs, carved crestings, and curved silhouettes.

Victorian armchairs were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, paired with steel coil springs, horsehair padding, and woven upholstery fabrics.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved details along the timber frame, hand-tied coil spring upholstery, traditional joinery methods, and original brass castors fitted to the front legs.

An antique open armchair can serve as an accent piece in a contemporary bedroom corner or study, providing visual contrast against minimalist architecture and neutral colour palettes.

Timber frames should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and conditioned with natural beeswax, while fabric upholstery benefits from gentle vacuuming and immediate spot cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners.
