Antique 19th Century Victorian Open Armchair in Walnut

19th century
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique 19th century Victorian open armchair in walnut, an elegant and beautifully presented piece with plenty of attractive period character. 

Light-coloured upholstery creates a striking contrast against the rich walnut, giving the chair a fresh and particularly appealing appearance. 

Delicate carved detailing enhances the frame, while castors add a traditional finishing touch to the design. 

Beautiful natural grain and deep colour can be admired throughout the walnut, highlighting the quality and character of the wood. 

The frame remains solid and sturdy with no unwanted movement, making the chair comfortable and suitable for continued use. 

A slight rip to the upholstery at the back has been sewn and does not affect the use of the chair. 

Well made and of good quality, this desirable Victorian armchair combines graceful proportions, beautiful walnut and striking upholstery in a piece that is both decorative and inviting.

This Victorian open armchair dates from the nineteenth century and is constructed from carved walnut wood with a rich, deep colour and visible natural grain. The piece is upholstered in a patterned gold and brown velvet fabric featuring a button-tufted backrest, padded scroll-carved armrests, and a sewn repair to a slight rip at the back. The frame stands on cabriole legs fitted with ceramic castors, and delicate carved detailing enhances the wooden structure. The armchair measures 103.5 cm high and 69 cm wide. In a modern interior, this armchair suits a living room, a study, or a bedroom as an occasional or reading seat. The solid and sturdy frame supports continued practical use while bringing traditional period character and decorative appeal to the space.

FAQs

Victorian open armchairs typically feature padded backrests and arm pads, exposed carved timber frames, and distinct curvilinear forms influenced by Rococo Revival styling.

Frames were frequently carved from solid walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, while interior construction utilised coiled steel springs, horsehair padding, and natural fibre webbing under woven silk, wool, or velvet upholstery.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-carved decorative motifs, original ceramic or brass castors, hand-stitched upholstery webbing beneath, and natural timber wear consistent with age around contact points.

A Victorian armchair can serve as an accent piece in a contemporary living space, reading corner, or bedroom, contrasting clean architectural lines with textured fabric and dark wood tones.

Timber frames should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and conditioned using beeswax paste, while upholstered sections require low-suction vacuuming and specialist spot cleaning for delicate fabrics.
