Description

A beautiful and impressive antique carved walnut corner chair. This was most likely made in Italy, we would date it to around the 1790’s period.

It is of extremely fine quality, with crisp and interesting carving, including gargoyles around the outer edges and a cherub on the top edge. The chair is beautifully designed and is a useful size.

We have had the frame re-polished and the seat has been newly upholstered in a cream cotton fabric. The condition is superb for its age, with a gorgeous overall patina.

FAQs

Corner chairs, also known as roundabout or writing chairs, first appeared in the early 18th century during the George I period, designed to fit snugly into room corners and accommodate the bulky clothing of the era.

These chairs are traditionally crafted from dense hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany, employing mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved ornamentation, and dropped-in upholstered seats supported by structural corner blocks.

Authenticity is identified by examining hand-cut joints, timber oxidation patterns, symmetrical tool marks from hand-carving, and period-appropriate wear consistent with age rather than artificial distressing.

An antique corner chair functions effectively as a standalone statement piece in an empty hallway, paired with a contemporary side table, or used as a compact desk chair to add historical contrast to modern minimalist spaces.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent timber drying, dusting with a soft dry cloth, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood surface.
