About the Item

Spectacular in scale and richly expressive in detail, this 19th century French Renaissance Revival armchair brings together the strength of solid oak, the artistry of hand carving, and the romantic grandeur of historic French design. The frame displays a beautiful patina, with carved arms, legs, supports, and stretcher that give the chair a sculptural presence from every angle. The Renaissance Revival style drew inspiration from the architecture, ornament, and decorative arts of the French Renaissance, bringing bold carving, noble proportions, and historic character into 19th century interiors. This armchair reflects that tradition beautifully, with its substantial form, shaped arms, carved details, and dramatic silhouette. The style also preceded the Louis XIV style, the transition of which is apparent in the overall design of this wonderful example. The upholstery is in good condition and adds a striking decorative layer to the chair, complementing the warmth and depth of the oak. With its generous proportions and strong presence, this armchair would make an impressive accent in a refined interior, offering comfort, history, and elegance in equal measure. Circa late 1800s Measures 48H x 28W x 30D; seat 20H This selection is available at Inessa Stewart’s Antiques, Dallas Design District, Dallas, Texas.
