Description

A beautiful pair of antique Swedish armchairs in satin birch. They were recently imported from Sweden, and date from around the 1900-1920 period.

The quality is outstanding and they are well sprung, and very comfortable to relax in. They have a gorgeous design in the Chippendale style, with scrolled acanthus leaf armrests and claw and ball feet. The satin wood has a stunning colour, with wonderful light and dark silky grain patterns.

We have had the frames fully stripped and re-polished to a very high standard, and they have been re-upholstered in a cream cotton fabric. The condition is excellent throughout.

FAQs

Antique Swedish seating from this tradition often features neoclassical or empire influences, characterised by clean architectural lines balanced with ornate carved wooden details and distinctive light-figured timber.

These pieces are typically constructed using solid birch or pine frames overlaid with highly figured satin birch veneers, joined with traditional mortise and tenon joinery and hand-tied coil spring upholstery.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-cut joinery, traditional finishing techniques such as hand-rubbed shellac or French polish, age-related timber oxidisation, and traditional upholstery webbing.

They serve as statement seating that adds historical contrast to minimalist spaces, pairing effectively with neutral palettes and architectural lighting to highlight the figured timber grain.

Preservation involves keeping the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources, periodically applying high-quality microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood, and using professional cleaning methods for the upholstery.
