Antique 18th century solid carved walnut English Chippendale armchair

About the Item

This 18th-century armchair is a refined and characterful piece, crafted from warm, light walnut wood that brings a soft, natural glow to any setting. Designed in the classic Chippendale style, it features gracefully curved armrests, intricate hand-carved details, and elegant ball-and-claw feet—hallmarks of a style that blends Rococo flair with English elegance and balance. Named after the famed cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale, this design reflects a period where craftsmanship met sophistication. The chair offers a remarkably comfortable seating experience, with a generous seat and supportive back. The seat has been reupholstered in a green fabric at a later date and is removable, making it easy to re-cover if desired. With a seat height of 49.5 cm (approximately 19.5 inches), it fits modern comfort standards perfectly. Whether placed in a reading corner or used as a statement piece, this chair combines historical charm with everyday practicality. It is sturdy, clean, and ready for use.
