About the Item
This early 20th-century armchair is crafted in the Directoire style, drawing inspiration from late 18th-century French design with its elegant, neoclassical lines and restrained ornamentation. Constructed from fruitwood, the frame showcases a warm, honeyed patina that enhances the simplicity of its silhouette. The barrel-back form sweeps gently into the arms, offering both visual fluidity and structural comfort. Tapered legs and a subtly curved seat rail further echo Directoire proportions, emphasizing symmetry and architectural refinement.
The seat, back, and arms are upholstered in deep brown leather, accented with brass nailhead trim. The leather has developed a handsome patina consistent with age and use, contributing to the chair’s timeless character. Well suited for a study, sitting room, or library, this piece bridges classic French style and early modern sensibilities.
This is an early 20th-century interpretation that respects historical form while offering comfort and durability for contemporary interiors. It presents beautifully as a standalone statement or as part of a curated seating arrangement.
