Pair of Antique Swedish Armchairs in Satin Birch

1900 - 1920
Description

A beautiful pair of antique Swedish armchairs in satin birch. They were recently imported from Sweden, and date from around the 1900-1920 period.

The quality is outstanding and they are well sprung, and very comfortable to relax in. They have a gorgeous design in the Chippendale style, with scrolled acanthus leaf armrests and claw and ball feet. The satin wood has a stunning colour, with wonderful light and dark silky grain patterns.

We have had the frames fully stripped and re-polished to a very high standard, and they have been re-upholstered in a cream cotton fabric. The condition is excellent throughout.

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

Emerging in the early 19th century, Swedish Biedermeier and Karl Johan seating features native timbers such as satin birch, flame birch, and alder wood. These styles combine Neoclassical architectural proportions with decorative carvings, scrolled armrests, and sculpted claw feet.

Antique Swedish seating typically utilizes solid or veneered satin birch timber frames polished to display natural grain patterns. Frame structures rely on traditional mortise and tenon joinery, with internal upholstery constructed from natural materials including horsehair, hessian, and jute webbing.

Authentic period armchairs display hand-carved detail, hand-cut joinery, and natural patination on exposed timber surfaces. Frames may also show historical maker stamps, inventory marks, or traditional hand-stitched construction methods beneath the seat frame.

Arranging a pair of Swedish armchairs opposite a neutral sofa creates a formal conversational layout. The contrast between dark-stained birch carving and light cream upholstery integrates cleanly into minimalist, classic, or contemporary Scandinavian schemes.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax along the wood grain annually. Keep the chairs away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage or fabric discoloration.
