About the Item

This pair of fine quality walnut antique Victorian armchairs is attributed to the renowned New Jersey cabinetmaker John Jelliff, one of the most celebrated furniture designers of the 19th century. Crafted with exceptional attention to detail, these armchairs embody the grandeur of the Victorian era with their robust walnut frames, intricate carvings, and stately proportions. Each chair features a deeply tufted burgundy velvet upholstery, beautifully contrasted against the richly toned walnut. The high backs are crowned with ornately carved medallions and scrolling motifs, while the arms are adorned with carved figural heads, a signature hallmark of Jelliff’s workshop. Resting on turned legs with brass casters, the chairs balance elegance with functionality. These armchairs not only provide luxurious seating but also serve as museum-quality statement pieces, ideal for collectors of Victorian and Renaissance Revival furniture. Their strong presence and historical significance make them perfect for refined living spaces, libraries, or period interiors. A rare opportunity to own a genuine example of John Jelliff’s craftsmanship, these chairs exude timeless sophistication and artistry.
