This Victorian open armchair dates from circa 1870 and displays the robust craftsmanship characteristic of the period. The exposed showframe uses warm brown mahogany, shaped with cabriole legs and detailed carved embellishments along the front posts and arms. The chair comes professionally reupholstered in 100 percent oyster linen fabric showing cream and soft grey tones, accented by padded armrests and a spoon back shape. Dimensions measure 97 cm high, 70 cm wide, and 76 cm deep. Suited for traditional interiors, this piece works well as a reading chair in a living room, a statement seat in a study, or an occasional armchair in a bedroom. The neutral tones of the fabric complement various color schemes while maintaining a classic English Country House aesthetic.

FAQs

A Victorian open arm chair features an exposed wooden showframe with padded arm pads and open sides, reflective of mid to late 19th-century cabinetmaking styles.

These armchairs were traditionally constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, filled with horsehair padding, and supported by coil springs.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-carved decorative motifs, cabriole or turned legs, traditional timber joinery, and original brass castors.

Placing a carved mahogany armchair alongside contemporary minimalist furniture creates a balanced contrast of textures and historical eras.

Dust the mahogany frame regularly with a soft cloth, apply natural beeswax periodically, and keep the upholstery away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
