  • Swedish Biedermeier Style Pair of Carved Birch Armchairs

    $2,500.00

    33.75"H x 22.88"W x 22.50"D

    Dimensions: 33 ¾” H x 22 ⅞” W x 22 ½” D

    A unique pair of Swedish late 19th century/early 20th century carved birch armchairs, the style would best be described as Biedermeier hence the beautiful blonde wood frames with Neoclassical profile and saber legs that would fit with nearly all traditional to contemporary decorating styles. The upper handrails are carved with a highly technical twisted effect flanked by turned rings as the only decorative flourish on the otherwise restrained yet elegant design. Currently the seats are upholstered in a very worn, satin material of alternating stripes in sage-green and ivory which complements the luminous frame. At 18” seat height they easily adapt for dining or as occasional chairs in a living room setting. Please view the detailed images to see more. Sold as a pair only.

  • French 19th Century Directoire Fauteuil

    $2,800.00

    34.50"H x 21"W x 21.25"D

    Dimensions: 34 ½” H x 21” W x 21 ¼” D

    A majestic French 19th century Directoire fauteuil armchair in charming patinated finish that reveals at least three layers of different colors painted over the carved wood frame. The most recent color is a pale, buttery cream, blending with a stone gray, and where those have chipped off a pastel turquoise is exposed. Currently the upholstery is a linen or linen-blend hopsack in tan, outlined by a nailhead trim. A seat cushion is removable for easy maintenance which is in worn but good condition to continue using. Small rosettes decorate the arms and junction of the legs which have fine, turned rings to accentuate their svelte profile. It appears a crack on the chair’s right arm was professionally repaired, which is almost imperceptible under the textured paint.

    32.25"H x 21.63"W x 19.63"D

    Dimensions: 32 ¼” H x 21 ⅝” W x 19 ⅝” D

    A pair of Swedish Biedermeier armchairs from circa 1820 in birch that expresses the most extraordinary patterns (which occur naturally in the wood) but have been revealed by the skilled hand of the artisan. The rather square and restrained profile of the chairs is contrasted by the lyre represented on the splat, which incorporates thin metal rods as the “strings” for the instrument. Seats are currently upholstered in a heavyweight twill material of complementary faded brick tone that is in worn condition but acceptable to continue using. They are a natural seat height for dining, and generous in scale to incorporate as occasional chairs for a living room setting. Wood frames have been gently cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to maintain the natural luster.

The curvaceous pierced back splat exhibits an openwork (stylized) palmette design below a thick upper rail carved with a diamond shape that is emphasized by natural darkening of the wood. The sage-green upholstery retains a luxurious and inviting touch (although a bit worn in places) both to the hand as well as when seated for dining and used around a game table. Internal structure remains firm and supportive. Note how the regal fleur-de-lis motif in the fabric has a rose-gold shimmer under certain lighting that looks celebratory for any occasion.

    Dimensions: 33” H x 19 ½” W x 17 ½” D

The upper handrails have an architectural profile with a gentle curve and a line of ebonized pinstripe. A central splat, shaped to resemble a lyre, is topped with a panel of birds eye maple over three ebonized lines to suggest the strings of the musical instrument. Currently the seat upholstery is a plain black twill fabric that is worn but acceptable to continue using as the internal structure remains firm and comfortable. Joining the squared, tapered legs is a rather unusual crossed stretcher of thin strips that have been gracefully shaped. The wood frames have been gently cleaned and polished to reveal the natural luminosity and are ready to join your interior. Please view the detailed images to see more. Sold as a pair.

    Dimensions: 36 ¼” H x 23 ½” W x 21” D

    Danish, early 20th century pair of Biedermeier armchairs made during the reign of Christian X (1912-1947). The chair frames are crafted from satin birch with natural luminosity like gold to shimmer in the light, revealing fine grain patterns. A carved backrest incorporates the familiar “shovel” design of early Viennese Biedermeier chairs in a gently arching shape ending in exaggerated lobes, finished on the underside by a half-circle fan including angular ridges of a stylized scallop shell. Resembling a fauteuil, the graceful arms of the chair project forward in a gentle slope before curling inward. The front legs rise above the seat and are crowned with ebonized spheres where they intersect with the arms. Current upholstery of a cream and sage green striped sateen material is in fair condition showing a few stains but would be acceptable to continue using. Note the wood has been gently cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to reveal its brilliance. Please view the detailed images to see more. Sold as a pair.

    Dimensions: 43 ⅜” H x 26 ½” W x 22 ¾” D

    This Italian armchair from 1680 may look like a throne, in fact it is a wonderfully patinated example of a friar’s chair–historically referred to as a “ sillon de frailero” type of chair found in abbeys. The friar’s armchair was initially an Italian design and quickly became associated with Spain and the colonies after its introduction in the 16th century. This wonderful armchair from the 17th century has a tall and sturdy frame carved from walnut, stretching a thick leather backrest and seat which are secured by two rows of nailheads. As this was not necessarily a chair for comfort, the lines of the arms and legs are mostly flat and straight to encourage good posture. Wonderful craquelure patina covers the dark leather, while the wood grain is marked with dense patina from nearly four centuries of use. Please view the detailed images of this special antique armchair.

    Dimensions: 39-¼”H x 26-⅛”W x 30-¼”D

    This is an English 19th century tapestry and walnut recliner, which features a plush headrest and matching armrests in deep crimson. The seatback is adjustable in its recline, also folding down flat so it can be easily moved or travel with the owner as was common with a highly mobile upper class around the Victorian period. For more of the “armchair traveler” today, the exotic patterns of the upholstery brings the world safely closer to home. It would be a conversation piece for the modern or eclectic interior. Circa 1870. Be sure to view the detailed images to see the current condition.
