This pair of Edwardian Charles II revival armchairs derives from English production circa 1910 and utilizes dark beech wood with deep caramel hues and fine grain interest. Each elbow seat exhibits ornate fretwork, brass acorn finials, shaped crest rails, bobbin turned supports, and oval back panels padded with cream floral tapestry upholstery and red fringe trim. The frames display relief carved cherubs, scroll leaf forms, foliate patera, and lyre motifs upon swept supports and lower panels, paired with long sinuous arms terminating in scrolled knuckles. Plump over cushions sit upon upholstered seat squabs, whilst quartets of bobbin turned legs with ball feet link via bobbin turned stretcher rails. Each armchair measures 127.5 cm high, 65.5 cm wide, and 61 cm deep. Suitable for placement within a gentleman's library or formal study, these seating units provide both historic visual interest and traditional comfort. The construction maintains solid joints and a desirable aged patina across the darkened beech framework, complemented by recent professional reupholstering. Positioned together around a desk or facing a fireplace, the pair contributes architectural depth and seventeenth-century revival character to interior spaces.

FAQs

Charles II Revival furniture, produced primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, emulates mid-to-late 17th-century Restoration design featuring elaborate relief carving, barley twist turnings, and tall upholstered backrests.

These seating pieces are typically constructed from solid oak or walnut timber, featuring hand-carved decorative elements and upholstered panels framed by spiral-turned or carved uprights.

Edwardian revival examples display modern joinery techniques, uniform timber cuts, and refined machine-assisted carving alongside traditional hand-finishing, distinguishing them from 17th-century originals.

Positioning a pair of carved armchairs symmetrically alongside a side table or flanking an entry console creates an architectural focal point that provides historical contrast within contemporary schemes.

Clean carved timber details using a soft natural-bristle brush, apply clear beeswax sparingly to protect the finish, and vacuum textile panels using a delicate upholstery attachment.
