Antique French Walnut Armchair

1900 - 1920
Sold by Culvertons
Sold 1 November 2025 · Culvertons
This “Antique French Walnut Armchair” found a buyer.

It was listed by Culvertons. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

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.

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.
