Walnut Oval Back Open Armchair

19th century
Description

A very elegant mid-19th century walnut framed salon chair in the Louis XV taste, raised on finely carved cabriole legs terminating on original porcelain castors. The shaped serpentine seat rail is decorated with delicate floral carvings, whilst the oval upholstered back is framed within a beautifully moulded walnut surround surmounted by a carved crest.

The flowing open arms are particularly attractive, displaying graceful scroll work and superb quality craftsmanship throughout. The chair retains a lovely rich walnut colour and patina, complementing the later upholstered striped fabric in soft blush and cream tones which suits the piece beautifully.

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.
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.
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.

Victorian Louis XV Revival armchairs feature curvilinear walnut frames, cabriole legs, carved floral top crestings, and padded open armrests inspired by mid-18th-century French furniture design.

Frames were typically constructed from carved hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany, paired with natural horsehair padding, brass coil springs, woven webbing, and decorative upholstery fabric.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved details along the frame, hand-chiseled mortise and tenon joinery, historical patina on unexposed wood underneath, and original brass castors on the foot bases.

Position the armchair as a standalone accent piece in a bedroom corner, pairing its detailed woodwork and soft textiles alongside minimalist side tables or neutral contemporary backdrops.

Clean timber frames using a soft microfiber cloth and beeswax polish, while vacuuming fabric gently with a brush attachment and keeping the chair away from direct sunlight.
