Rare 19th Century Black Forest Walnut Armchair by Horrix with Classy Upholstery
About the Item
Unique, impressively carved and very comfortable chair from circa 1870.
This unique chair is as strong and stable as the day it was made and the woodwork is in good to excellent condition also. The solid handcrafted nutwood frame comes with a variety of good quality carved, natural rustic elements that make this rare Black Forest chair the impressive antique that it is. This chair is marked and made by Horrix of the Hague (which also is the town where we acquired this antique). Horrix seized to exist in 1891 so any piece marked by this famous Dutch maker is always at least late 19th century. The wonderfully upholstered seat and back with its calm and stylish flowery pattern completes this rather majestic chair. You won't know for sure until you have tried it, but we have done so for you and besides being a beautiful and top quality chair, this prime example also is very comfortable to sit in. As you would expect from a top maker. Finally, this hand carved and entirely handcrafted antique has a beautiful patina and it radiates nothing but quality, stability and durability.

- Rare Antique Black Forest Carved Tree Shaped Coat Rack, Umbrella Hall Stand TreeBy Matthijs HorrixLocated in Lisse, NLStunning black forest entrance furniture. Imagine coming home to this work of art after a tough day at the office. This 19th century work of art will make you feel right back home. In order to understand and enjoy this kind of beauty, you have to see it. You have to see the design that was beforehand, see the craftsman that gave his all, see the natural and beautiful materials he used, see the detail of his work and see what inspired him to make this artistic piece. Once you see it in that way, you will truly love this antique and you will appreciate it for it's unmistakeble quality, beauty and for what it radiates. Pictures may say more than a thousand words, but standing next to and using this antique is what really makes the difference Although it is not marked, we are certain that this eyecatcher is made by Horrix of the Hague. They were the true and internationally respected Dutch makers of top quality Black Forest style masterpieces. This coat rack is no exception. The beautifully carved walnut branches covered with leafs seem to have naturally grown over the oval mirror in the middle. The mirror, by the way, is purposely covered in soap so there are no reflections that could distract. The base section comes with the original iron, barley twisted ring looking like rope. This ring obviously serves as the umbrella holder above the removable zinc drip pan. This stand is also perfect for holding walking sticks or even rifles. The rim around the zinc pan is again beautifully carved in the shape of a woven basket. Finally, the top section around the central mirror comes with a total of 8 practical and perfectly carved hangers...Category
