Set of 2 Jacobean Stuart Baroque Styled Hand-Carved Armchairs, England, c. 1890s

About the Item

Introducing an incredibly rare and well-preserved set of Jacobean Stuart/Baroque-styled hand-carved armchairs produced in Victorian England in the 1890's during the Baroque Revival movement that swept across western Europe during the turn of the century. Hand-carved by master artisans these regal armchairs are replete with intricate Jacobean details and references to early protestant iconography such as fish and cherubs as well as royal status symbols like pineapples (considered extremely rare and lavish in 18th century Europe) that top both chairs. From every angle the sophisticated craftsmanship shines from the intricately carved floral patterns, spiral frames and caning seats and seatbacks that have stood the test of a century and a half of use. Literally fit for a king this incredible antique set is ideal for collectors and designers alike as well as museums and even movie sets. In nearly 100% original, vintage condition - save for a few minor repairs to the top and bottom facades - this royal armchair set is a truly rare and remarkable find. Make them yours today before they're gone forever. ---Dimensions--- Width: 22 in / 55.88 cm Depth: 22 in / 55.88 cm Height: 54.5 in / 138.43 cm Seat Height: 19 in / 48.26 cm Arm Height: 29.75 in / 75.57 cm Save for a few minor repairs this incredibly well-preserved set of Baroque armchairs is in original condition! The solid European oak frames and legs show only minor nicks, scratches and a few small crack repairs on the facades. With that said the wood is in overall excellent condition considering it's nearly 150 years old! The original caning is also in excellent vintage condition given it's age showing no breaks, tears or serious blemishes with only a few areas of minor discoloration (which can be seen in the natural light video provided) and all seats and backrests are weight-bearing. This gorgeous set of armchairs is comfortable, structurally solid and ready for yet another lifetime of use. Please view all photos and video for details on this set's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
