Charles X Style French Chair "Antique Master" In Wood And “Cuoio”

About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our objects. Fascinating and rare " Antique Master" chair with armrests; it was made from excellent oak wood; the imposing backrest has a rectangular shape and an elegant rounded finish has been placed on the upper side; the front legs are slightly cabriole, while the back legs are the continuation of the backrest; both the wide and comfortable seat and the backrest are padded and covered with real “cuoio” in a refined green hue; extraordinary and original are the two armrests, they have a refined swan-neck curvilinear course and depart from the middle of the backrest and join the front legs, schematically representing two dolphins superbly carved by a Master cabinetmaker. These are two distinctive features of the Charles X style, the style in which the chair was made. Another fascinating feature in the chair is the color that the wood has taken on over time, especially the armrests have such a distinctive appearance with their beautiful wear and tear, that we did not consider doing any restoration because the chair's surface veiled patina and its small imperfections make it truly alluring and fascinating and attest to its antiquity and authenticity. We have to clarify the upholstery of the chair, we specified that it is "cuoio" and not "leather," unfortunately in English, there is only one translation for the two words: "cuoio." In Italian, the term "cuoio" refers to very stiff leather (shoe soles, horse saddles) or stiff leather (upper part of shoes) tanned exclusively with vegetable tanning, while the term "pelle" (leather) refers to all types of leather, whether tanned with chrome, alum, vegetable, or the synthetic tanning method created between 1830 and 1835 in a cabinetmakers' workshop in the French town of Liffon-le-Grand located in the Vosges department in the Grand Est region. The Restoration style, born after the fall of the Napoleonic Empire (1814) is often called "Charles X" because it was under this ruler that it took on more pronounced characteristics. Charles X aimed to restore the prestige of the monarchy and this influenced the aesthetics of the period. The Charles X style is known for its refinement and elegance. Furniture from this period is often characterized by intricate detailing and workmanship, reflecting a desire for luxury and refinement. The Charles X style represents a transitional phase in French furniture design, combining elements of the past with a renewed emphasis on luxury and elegance. It is prized for its graceful lines, meticulous craftsmanship, and integration of historical influences into a refined aesthetic. Antique Master (or King) chairs are generally larger than normal, and would have been made for members of royal houses, Masonic leaders, schoolmasters, council leaders, and heads of families; anyone who owned and sat in a Master chair secured a position of authority over the group. Our chair with all its delightful period detailing, exudes exceptional craftsmanship and with its classic form, it will easily fit into any style of decor. The chair is in good original condition, but the leather ("cuoio") of the seat has slight imperfections due to time (see photos). Measurements width cm.59, depth cm.48, height cm.89, seat cm.42. For all our shipments we use special packing materials (custom-made wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the items.

Biedermeier Style Danish Chair in Wood and Fabric

Located in Prato, Tuscany

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Particular and elegant chair with a solid and functional structure; the most interesting part of the chair is the elaborate and imaginative backrest with a harmonious and refined design; in the middle, there is precious woodwork, carved with skill and ability by a master cabinetmaker; the front legs have been meticulously turned to give them a light and proportionate shape, while the rear ones have a slightly curved square section; the seat top is removable and a wooden pin on the front crossbar allows the top itself to fit perfectly into its natural housing. The seat upholstery was replaced in ancient times and is in good condition (a bit of wear on the front, see photo) so we did not consider doing any restoration on the whole chair because its authentic look and slight imperfections make it really seductive and fascinating and attest its antiquity. The chair was handcrafted in Denmark in perfect Biedermeier style using African...
