Pair of 19th Century Oak Woven Leather Armchairs, C1880

19th century
Description

Very Decorative Pair of 19th-Century Oak and Woven Leather Armchairs

A very handsome pair of late 19th-century Carolean revival oak and woven leather carver armchairs, combining strong architectural presence with great decorative appeal. Each chair features a rectangular woven leather lattice back, secured with brass studwork and set above a row of turned spindle gallery. The generous seat, also in woven leather lattice within a studded frame, is complemented by beautifully carved, shaped downswept scrolling arms on turned supports. The chairs stand on turned legs united by square stretchers and terminating in bun feet, with a wonderfully decorative, country-house feel.

All the leather is original, in excellent condition, and retains a rich, supple appearance. The oak frames display striking grain, warm colour and a pleasing, mellow patina, the whole set in very good original order with no damage or repairs.

These armchairs would sit beautifully in a hallway, library, sitting room or study, where they offer both comfort and visual impact. Highly decorative yet robust and functional, they make a real focal point and a characterful addition to any traditional or contemporary interior. Seat height is 46 cm.

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

Late 19th-century seating often combined historicist influences, such as Renaissance Revival and Arts and Crafts styles, incorporating solid oak frames with hand-woven leather strapping and decorative brass studding.

These pieces typically feature solid oak frames joined with mortise and tenon timber joinery, combined with thick leather straps woven across the backrest and seat, finished with brass studwork.

Authentic pieces display natural patination on the oak timber, turned woodworking, irregular wear patterns across the woven leather, and evidence of original fixings beneath the seat rails.

A pair of dark oak armchairs can serve as accent seating alongside a modern sofa, or be positioned in a library or hallway to introduce warm timber tones and rich texture.

Dust the oak timber regularly and apply beeswax polish periodically, while treating the woven leather straps with a specialized leather conditioner to maintain flexibility.
