This nineteenth-century Ottoman armchair takes the form of an X-frame seat executed in dark brown hardwood. The design incorporates a slatted seat, a slatted backrest, curved armrests, and a shaped cresting rail finished with scrolling outlines. Fine mother-of-pearl inlay decorates the wooden surfaces in geometric star and floral patterns across the cresting rail, central splat, backrest, armrests, seat slats, and lower frame, complemented by detailed relief carvings throughout the structure. The upright cresting rail includes a crescent moon and star motif, while the backrest contains an open circular aperture supporting a pierced wooden finial. Measuring 100 cm high, 33 cm wide, and 46 cm deep, this armchair suits placement in a study, library, or hallway as a decorative seating option. The dark timber grain provides a rich contrast to the pale iridescent inlay elements.

FAQs

An Ottoman X-frame chair is a traditional piece of Middle Eastern seating characterised by a cross-shaped intersecting leg structure, often embellished with intricate hand-carved patterns and mother of pearl inlays inspired by Islamic geometric art.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as walnut, oak, or fruitwood, and are inlaid with hand-cut mother of pearl, bone, or contrasting wood marquetry set directly into carved channels.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display signs of manual carving, subtle irregularities in the hand-cut shell inlays, traditional peg or mortise-and-tenon joinery, and natural surface patination consistent with age.

An ornamental X-frame chair serves as a compelling focal point when positioned in an entryway, library, or drawing room alcove, contrasting effectively against crisp contemporary architecture and modern neutral fabrics.

Maintain the piece by keeping it in a climate-controlled room away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and avoiding harsh chemical polishes.
