About the Item

A richly detailed Gothic Revival armchair from mid-19th century France, featuring a hand-carved oak frame and original needlepoint upholstery. This stately piece embodies the grandeur and ecclesiastical elegance typical of the Gothic revival movement during the reign of Napoleon III. The solid oak frame showcases ornate carving throughout, with pointed arches, trefoil motifs, and turned finials that evoke medieval cathedral architecture. The hand-stitched needlepoint seat and backrest depict classic floral patterns in muted tones, beautifully preserved and full of historic character. Ideal as a statement piece in a study, library, or as a refined accent chair, this armchair offers both decorative presence and historical authenticity.
