About the Item

A pair of English armchairs from circa 1880 with ebonized turned feet, casters and custom linen upholstery. Born in England circa 1880, this exquisite pair of armchairs epitomizes the elegance and refined craftsmanship of the late 19th century. Each chair features beautifully out-scrolling arms and gracefully slanted backs, providing both comfort and a touch of sophistication. The custom linen upholstery, chosen for its neutral tones and timeless appeal, enhances the chairs' luxurious feel, making them a delightful addition to any living space. The front legs are turned and ebonized, adding a striking contrast to the light linen fabric, while the hind legs curve gently, contributing to the overall elegance of the design. The legs are fitted with casters, allowing for easy movement and versatility within a room. Perfect for a living room, study, or bedroom, these armchairs offer a blend of comfort and style. The combination of the dark ebonized feet and the light, airy linen upholstery creates a harmonious balance that can complement various decor styles, from traditional to contemporary. Whether used as a statement piece or for everyday seating, these circa 1880 English armchairs will bring a touch of historical charm and refined elegance to any home. With their graceful lines, quality materials, and impeccable craftsmanship, these armchairs are a testament to the enduring appeal of 19th-century English furniture. Their timeless design ensures they will be cherished additions to your interior, providing both aesthetic beauty and functional comfort.
