Beautiful Antique Hand Carved Nutwood Chair / Armchair With Green Upholstery

About the Item

Stylish and very comfortable antique chair with perfect upholstery. If you are looking for an incredibly well handcrafted antique chair to grace your living space then this striking specimen could be perfect for you. We cannot think of a better condition nor better workmanship chair to read your favourite books or magazines in. This antique chair not only is of museum quality and condition, it also is extremely comfortable to sit in. This rare chair with its incredibly detailed carvings is well over 100 years old and for it be in this condition even amazed us. Somewhere in the 1980's it got re-upholstered with an excellent green velvet which too is in superb condition still. Former owners could not have looked after this armchair any better and it felt like a blessing for it to have found its way to us. This marvelous chair is as strong and stabile as the day it was handcrafted and the solid nutwood frame could not be anymore 'clean' either. The hand carved details in this great looking and very comfortable settee are of a quality and finesse that make them an absolute joy to look at. This kind of workmanship you just don't see anymore in this day and age. The striking pediment with its quiver, arrows and torch is topped of by a rare, triple bow. Other stunning details are the accanthus leafs that are folded over the armrests, the organically beautiful finials and the perfect cannelures in the legs and armrests. Mind you, this antique chair is part of a set and the settee/sofa we placed on 1stdibs earlier this week. Next week we are also looking to place on 1stdibs the matching set of four dining chairs and possibly also a drinks cabinet with open tiers (we are still negotiating about that cabinet). If you appreciate the design, quality, uniqueness, beauty and excellent condition of this Fine chair as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially when taking into account that perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 days are complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 42.7 x 24.8 x 25.6 inches. Maximum seat height: 20.4 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by.

  • Perfectly Hand Carved and Superb Condition Antique Gothic Revival Armchair Chair
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Good size and great condition Gothic, throne-like armchair. The only way for us to explain the superb condition of this stunning Gothic chair is to assume that it has always been in a church or monastery. It was there where these works of religious art were respected the most and therefor taken care of better than anywhere else. Since churches often also had more funds than most private people, they would also have the best quality pieces made and this armchair too fits that bill. The turned and leafs decorated legs and armrest supports are extremely well carved and in mint condition. The church window like pannels in the back and the sculptural leaf decor on top of the backrest are equally impressive. This kind of quality, style and beauty was already exceptional in those days and in furniture stores in this day and age, nothing new comes even close to the quality and beauty of the craftsmanship displayed in this antique chair. After more than 120 years this incredibly well carved Gothic chair...
