Antique Italian Walnut Wood Armchair with Raw Silk Upholstery, circa 1890
About the Item
With its highly decorative motifs, this majestic Italian armchair with raw silk upholstery is in the Baroque style. The walnut frame, which was hand-carved in Italy, circa 1890, has a fantastic, rich patina in dark brown that is offset by a silk noil (or “nubby” silk) cream upholstery. Golden threads accent the thick textile, which has a linen-like appearance.
Gracefully sloping arms emerge from the tall, rectangular back, terminating in a volute scroll handrest above a basket-like pierced arm stump. The two front legs have been carved in a similar fashion, but in reverse: the pierced basket is above the volute. In between the two baskets is an elaborate display of a series of scrolls adorned with prominent volute whorls and piercings between the curves. A baluster form H-stretcher adds additional support, pairing nicely with the turned block back feet. Our walnut Baroque-style armchair is a comfortable and elegant option for seating in a living room, study, or library.
