This Rococo Revival armchair dates from 1930 and functions as a traditional library chair. It consists of a hardwood frame upholstered in chestnut brown leather, completed with a lift-out feather cushion, a deep-buttoned back, scroll-shaped arms, and brass studding. The wooden components display elaborate hand-carved cresting at the top, detailed mouldings along the front rail, and carved scroll-shaped cabriole legs. The piece measures 87.1 cm high, 89.5 cm wide, and 87.1 cm deep, providing comfortable proportions for daily sitting. In a contemporary interior, it serves as an inviting seating option for a private study, a home library, a living room reading corner, or a quiet office space.

FAQs

A library armchair is an upholstered reading seat designed for comfort during extended periods of sitting, historically featured in private studies and reading rooms from the eighteenth century onwards.

These chairs typically feature full-grain or top-grain leather upholstery hand-tufted over a solid hardwood frame, finished with brass upholstery tacks and hand-carved timber detailing.

Authentic pieces display natural wear and patina on the leather, traditional hand-tied coil springs within the seat construction, and hand-carved wood detailing along the frame.

Position the armchair alongside a minimalist side table and floor lamp to create a reading nook, or pair it with contemporary textiles to balance its traditional silhouette.

Keep the leather away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply a specialised leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying and cracking.
