Fine & Impressive Pair of 19thc French Baroque Style Walnut Open Armchairs

19th century
Description

A fine and impressive pair of 19th century (circa 1870) French walnut open armchairs in the Baroque style.

This pair of chairs consist of an upholstered back leading down to superbly carved scroll arms with carved male and female heads supported by turned and carved baluster arm supports with foliate carved block corners.

The chairs are supported by turned and carved legs joined with a shaped and carved H-stretcher terminating with block and bun foot.

The striped upholstery is not original but is in good condition (with slight wear) and works very well with the style of the chair but could of course be changed once purchased.

This pair of chairs are in very good condition for age, are of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

This pair of 19th-century French Baroque style open armchairs is constructed from warm brown walnut timber with brass studding along the seat borders and a soft fringe trim beneath the upholstered backs. Each chair displays high upholstered backs and padded seats covered in striped velvet upholstery featuring vertical bands of red, green, and gold tones, complemented by scroll arms terminating in carved male and female human head figures above turned baluster supports. The framework incorporates foliate-carved block corners, turned and carved legs, shaped H-stretchers, and block and bun feet, showing stable construction with slight wear to the fabric. Each armchair measures 103.5 cm high, 67.5 cm wide, and 65 cm deep. These seating pieces work effectively in a traditional study, a formal drawing room, or a grand library to provide comfortable occasional seating alongside a reading table or fireplace.

FAQs

French Baroque style armchairs, originating in the 17th century and revived during the 19th century, feature high rectangular backs, open wooden arms, elaborate scroll carving, turned legs, and stretchers.

Craftspeople typically constructed these armchairs from solid dense hardwoods such as walnut or oak, incorporating hand-carved decorative motifs, brass stud upholstery trimming, and woven velvet or tapestry fabrics.

Look for evidence of hand-carved wooden joinery, natural wear patterns on arm terminals and stretchers, period-appropriate timber patination, and traditional upholstery methods such as hand-tied springs and horsehair stuffing.

Place a pair of carved walnut armchairs in a contemporary living space, hallway, or study to introduce texture, architectural structure, and historical contrast against neutral walls and minimalist furnishings.

Dust carved wood detailing regularly using a soft brush, apply natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the timber finish, and vacuum velvet fabric gently using an upholstery attachment.
