Description

This antique French walnut armchair or fauteuil (Circa 1900) was chosen by Culvertons because we felt it was particularly attractive, finely carved, and in a very good useable condition. In fact it is one of two such armchairs we have recently brought into stock from the same private source. Both are being sold separately, and appear within Culvertons' stock on Selling Antiques. They are of a similar age, size, and are traditionally upholstered in the same fine light gold and duck egg blue Damask fabric and come with a throw cushion, however, the carved walnut show frames do differ. There are two minor marks on the upholstery of this example (see photos) - one on the left-hand side of the seat and the other on the cushion. The cushion cover has a zip so it can be removed for cleaning. An elegant and comfortable armchair that is ready to be used and enjoyed, either singly or as a matching pair.

Dealers Notes

Whenever possible Culvertons undertake the carriage of items within London and the home counties. Professional, competitive and trusted couriers and shipping companies are engaged for deliveries for the remainder of our customers. Smaller items, when instructed, will be carefully parcelled and securely sent by the carrier.

We strive to accurately describe and illustrate our stock on the 'Selling Antiques' website. However, we understand that it is not always possible to judge from photographs how an item will look in the home or garden. For this reason, if notified within seven days from the date of delivery we offer a full refund (less any agreed carriage costs) once the item has been returned in the same condition as it left our premises.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Preservation requires keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood cracking and fabric fading, occasionally treating the timber with appropriate wax, and vacuuming the upholstery gently with a soft brush attachment.

Pairing a traditional carved armchair with contemporary minimalist furnishings creates a striking juxtaposition, allowing the historical craftsmanship to serve as a focal point without overwhelming the space.

Authentication involves examining the timber for age-related patina and tool marks, inspecting the joinery for hand-cut joints rather than modern fasteners, and checking the upholstery substructure for period-appropriate materials and wear patterns.

Authentic period armchairs are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like walnut or beech, featuring hand-carved details, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon, and natural stuffing materials secured with webbing and twine.

The Louis XV style, prevalent in the 18th century, is characterised by asymmetrical ornamentation, curved lines, and the popularisation of comfortable upholstered seating like the fauteuil, moving away from formal, rigid designs.
