Pair of 1870s Swedish Painted Wood Neoclassical Style Upholstered Armchairs

About the Item

A pair of Swedish painted wood neoclassical style armchairs from the second half of the 19th century with tall open armrests, carved skirt and newly upholstered seat. Each of this pair of Swedish armchairs features a delicately curved back with rectangular splat, flowing seamlessly into the tall open armrests that flank the sides. Each seat has been recovered with a new cotton double welt upholstery and rests on a delicate skirt, carved on the surround with waterleaf motifs, accented with rosettes on the knees. The ensemble is raised on four saber legs. The elegance of its lines, combined with the exquisite Neoclassical décor and soft color palette, will make this pair of Swedish armchairs circa 1870 a wonderful decorative accent for any living room, bedroom, foyer or office.

  • Pair of Upholstered Hepplewhite Shield-Back Armchairs w Provenance, circa 1870s
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    This exquisite pair of circa 1870s Hepplewhite style 'Shield-Back' armchairs are exquisite. We believe the wood to be crafted from solid Mahogany with intricate detailed carved details. The upholstered back and arms provide additional comfort from the traditional open back style of standard Hepplewhite chairs. Acquired from English Antiques specialist Dillingham & Company in 1998, a copy of the receipt is attached in the photo gallery. These 19th Century antique shield back arm chairs would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as side chairs, dining, cafe or breakfast table chairs...
