An Italian Baroque period walnut armchair from the 17th century, with slanted back, large scrolling arms, turned legs and carved X-Form cross-stretcher. This Italian Baroque period walnut armchair, originating from the 17th century, is a magnificent piece that embodies the grandeur and ornate style of the Baroque era. The chair features a slanted back, which not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also provides comfortable support. The large scrolling arms are a defining feature, showcasing the elaborate and dramatic design typical of Baroque furniture.
The chair's turned legs are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the period, with each leg intricately designed to add both stability and visual interest. The carved X-Form cross-stretcher further enhances the chair's structural integrity and adds an additional element of artistic flair. This cross-stretcher not only serves a functional purpose but also contributes to the overall decorative scheme of the chair.
While the upholstery is in used condition, it adds a sense of authenticity and history to the piece, telling a story of its journey through time. The seat height of 18.5 inches, a seat depth of 20 inches, and an arm height of 27.75 inches ensure comfortable seating, making this chair not only a piece of art but also a functional item of furniture.

Antique and Vintage Armchairs for Sale on 1stDibs
Armchairs have run the gamut from prestige to ease and everything in between, and everyone has an antique or vintage armchair that they love.
Long before industrial mass production democratized seating, armchairs conveyed status and power.
In ancient Egypt, the commoners took stools, while in early Greece, ceremonial chairs of carved marble were designated for nobility. But the high-backed early thrones of yore, elevated and ornate, were merely grandiose iterations of today’s armchairs.
Modern-day armchairs, built with functionality and comfort in mind, are now central to tasks throughout your home. Formal dining armchairs support your guests at a table for a cheery feast, a good drafting chair with a deep seat is parked in front of an easel where you create art and, elsewhere, an ergonomic wonder of sorts positions you at the desk for your 9 to 5.
When placed under just the right lamp where you can lounge comfortably, both elbows resting on the padded supports on each side of you, an upholstered armchair — or a rattan armchair for your light-suffused sunroom — can be the sanctuary where you’ll read for hours.
If you’re in the mood for company, your velvet chesterfield armchair is a place to relax and be part of the conversation that swirls around you. Maybe the dialogue is about the beloved Papa Bear chair, a mid-century modern masterpiece from Danish carpenter and furniture maker Hans Wegner, and the wingback’s strong association with the concept of cozying up by the fireplace, which we can trace back to its origins in 1600s-era England, when the seat’s distinctive arm protrusions protected the sitter from the heat of the period’s large fireplaces.
If the fireside armchair chat involves spirited comparisons, your companions will likely probe the merits of antique and vintage armchairs such as Queen Anne armchairs, Victorian armchairs or even Louis XVI armchairs, as well as the pros and cons of restoration versus conservation.
Everyone seems to have a favorite armchair and most people will be all too willing to talk about their beloved design. Whether that’s the unique Favela chair by Brazilian sibling furniture designers Fernando and Humberto Campana, who repurposed everyday objects to provocative effect; or Marcel Breuer’s futuristic tubular metal Wassily lounge chair; the functionality-first LC series from Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret; or the Eames lounge chair of the mid-1950s created by Charles and Ray Eames, there is an iconic armchair for everyone and every purpose. Find yours on 1stDibs right now.
