Description

A well-matched pair of late 19th-century walnut open armchairs in the Louis XV style. Each chair is formed with a shaped upholstered back and seat, the back surmounted by a carved crest, with scrolling open arms and padded rests, all raised on carved cabriole legs.

Designed as fauteuil-type chairs for occasional seating, they work well as a pair in a drawing room, bedroom or positioned either side of a fireplace.

Presented in very good antique condition with some light surface wear and an attractive aged patina. The upholstery is clean and serviceable, showing some marks consistent with use. Both chairs show an old repair and minor losses to the carved crest rails, visible on close inspection but not affecting structure or use. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place.

English, circa 1880.

Price is for pair.

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.

FAQs

The Louis XV revival style, popular during the mid-to-late 19th century, is characterised by asymmetrical curves, cabriole legs, carved floral motifs, and an emphasis on graceful, organic forms inspired by 18th-century French design.

These pieces typically feature solid walnut frames shaped with steam-bent wood and hand-carved decorative elements, joined using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and upholstered over webbed bases with horsehair or traditional stuffing.

Authenticity is assessed by examining timber ageing, hand-cut joinery marks, tool impressions on the hand-carved wood, period-appropriate upholstery techniques, and natural wear patterns consistent with late 19th-century manufacturing.

Integrating period seating into modern spaces creates visual contrast; pairing them with minimalist modern sofas or placing them against neutral walls allows the intricate woodwork and classic silhouettes to serve as focal points.

Preservation involves keeping wooden frames away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, and dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth while avoiding harsh chemical polishes.
