Fine, Impressive Pair of 19th Century French Baroque Style Walnut Open Armchairs

19th century
Description

A fine and impressive pair of 19th century (circa 1870) French walnut open armchairs in the Baroque style.

This pair of chairs consist of an upholstered back leading down to superbly carved scroll arms with carved male and female heads supported by turned and carved baluster arm supports with foliate carved block corners.

The chairs are supported by turned and carved legs joined with a shaped and carved H-stretcher terminating with block and bun foot.

The striped upholstery is not original but is in good condition (with slight wear) and works very well with the style of the chair but could of course be changed once purchased.

This pair of chairs are in very good condition for age, are of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

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.

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 Baroque style armchairs, originating in the seventeenth century and revived during the nineteenth century, are defined by their grand proportions, dark carved timber frames, high rectangular backs, and elaborate decorative details such as scrolled stretchers and sculptural terminals.

These chairs typically feature solid dense hardwoods like walnut or oak for the carved frames. Upholstery frequently utilises rich woven fabrics including velvet, damask, or tapestry, secured with decorative brass studs or trim.

Nineteenth-century examples show signs of hand-carved details alongside mechanical precision in frame joining, natural age oxidisation on exposed timber, hand-forged fasteners, and authentic wear patterns on armrest terminals and stretchers.

Position a pair of carved armchairs flanking a fireplace or architectural feature to create a balanced focal point. Contrast the ornate timber frames and structured silhouette by placing them against plain walls in a contemporary scheme.

Clean carved walnut frames using a dry lint-free cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically to protect the timber finish. Vacuum the velvet fabric gently with a soft brush attachment in the direction of the pile to remove dust.
