This pair of nineteenth-century Napoleon III armchairs exemplifies French chateau style with a low-profile silhouette and deep seats measuring 54 cm in depth and 38 cm in height. Each armchair has a beech and wood frame covered in plain beige cotton calico fabric, complemented by padded pillow arms, turned dark front legs, and splayed back legs. The upholstery shows exposed inner construction elements and raw edges around the arm panels. Suitable for a living room or study, these armchairs provide deep seating comfort in a variety of interior settings. They measure 72 cm high, 78 cm wide, and 78 cm deep, standing directly on the floor with dark turned uprights at the front and raked supports at the rear.

FAQs

Produced in France during the Second Empire (18521870), Napoleon III furniture is characterised by comfortable, deep-upholstered seating with low profiles, padded arms, and dark or ebonised turned legs.

Frames were typically constructed from solid beech or oak hardwoods, filled with natural materials like horsehair and jute webbing, and finished with turned wooden legs and brass castors.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved hardwood frames with traditional mortise and tenon joinery, hand-tied spring systems, layered natural upholstery, and distinctively turned or tapered front legs.

These low-slung, rounded armchairs serve as versatile accent seating when arranged as a pair opposite a minimalist sofa or positioned within a main bedroom suite.

Vacuum fabric regularly with a soft attachment, keep timber components away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, and consult a specialist restorer for re-upholstery.
