A Pair of Early 18th Century Louis Xv Walnut Open Armchairs

18th century
Description

A pair of Louis XIV / Louis XV walnut open armchairs, the chairs are supported by turned and carved legs joined with a shaped and carved H-stretcher terminating with block and bun foot.. Structurally sound, but do need reupholstering . For fabric, these chairs are Susie Watson waiting to happen !

Ever increasingly difficult to find, these chairs have a lovely form and in remarkably good order for 300 years of age.

I have removed the tapestry covering and cleaned the frame.

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

Early 18th-century French seating, spanning the Regence and Louis XV periods, transitioned from rigid Baroque forms to softer, sinuous curves. Features include serpentine top rails, carved walnut frames, padded backs, and open armrests upholstered in wool tapestry.

Frames were typically carved from solid hardwoods such as walnut, beech, or oak. Upholstery frequently featured hand-woven wool or silk tapestry, secured with brass decorative studs over horsehair and flax padding.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved joinery, pegged mortise and tenon joints, and irregular hand-turned stretchers. The timber shows natural oxidisation, and original upholstery remnants often reveal period hand-stitching and authentic stuffing materials.

Placing a pair of upholstered period armchairs alongside contemporary minimalist sofas creates an engaging contrast of textures and eras. Their high backs and sculptural wood frames add architectural interest to formal living areas or reading nooks.

Keep timber frames away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage and cracking. Apply beeswax occasionally to walnut wood, and consult a specialist textile conservator for fragile original tapestry fabrics.
