About the Item

Unique, top quality hand carved and highly decorative antique set of 3, 19th Century curule armchairs in red velvet – Renaissance Revival Elegance. This elegant set of three matching armchairs is a rare find — and a true statement in any interior. Crafted in the late 19th century, likely around 1850–1890, these chairs are inspired by Renaissance and Baroque designs, featuring the classic curule (X-frame) base that echoes the furniture once found in noble courts and ecclesiastical settings. The solid wood frames are beautifully curved and connected with a distinctive cross-stretcher, offering both visual strength and sculptural balance. Upholstered in rich red velvet and finished with traditional bullion fringe and brass tacks, the chairs exude a sense of formality, warmth, and old-world craftsmanship. What makes this set special is its character: you can almost picture them lining a grand hall, a historic study, or even a chapel. Whether you're furnishing a refined living space, designing a period-inspired room, or curating a gallery, these chairs bring history, style, and presence with them. If you already have a place and space in mind for it then maybe you should be its next custodian. If you can afford this type of quality and beauty's, then why settle for less?
