Superb French Walnut Armchair Silk Upholstered

1900 - 1920
Description

This is a fabulous French carved walnut armchair beautifully upholstered in silk brocade dating from around 1900. The chair has been meticulously and very skilfully hand made to an incredible standard. It has a very heavy hardwood frame, with absolutely no give and tight joints and a show frame in intricately carved solid walnut.

The design is very eye catching with sweeping curves and carved floral knop hand rests which clearly reflect the changing fashions of the times.

It is upholstered in a shell pink silk brocade and has deep buttoning to the back and a separate thick squab cushion, feather filled, making a most comfortable seat. The upholstery is to a standard difficult to find these days and wonderfully has had little use as it is in excellent condition throughout, with no wear or fading at all.

We also have a matching walnut coffee table with the same quirky carved walnut knops available in stock at the moment.

The chair measures 72 cms high by 87 cms wide by 90 deep overall.

The squab cushion measures 62 cms wide by 62 cms deep with the seat being 40 cms from the floor.

UK delivery can be arranged with our local courier and costs £70 plus vat to most areas.

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

French armchairs, such as bergeres and fauteuils, originated in the 18th century, characterised by carved wooden frames, padded seats, and contoured backs designed for comfort and formal interior spaces.

These armchairs typically feature solid walnut timber frames, traditional coil spring webbing, natural padding materials, and hand-woven silk, damask, or velvet fabric upholstery.

Authentic period pieces display traditional hand-carved wood joinery, hand-stitched upholstery under-construction, minor asymmetry in hand-carved motifs, and natural age-related patina along the wood frame.

Position the armchair as a statement accent piece in a bedroom, reading nook, or main living area, pairing its carved timber frame with neutral contemporary textiles and clean-lined side tables.

Keep silk-upholstered chairs positioned away from direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, vacuum gently using a soft brush attachment, and treat spots using specialist dry cleaning methods.
