Pair of Portuguese D. José I Period Walnut Fauteuils, 18th Century
Origin: Portugal
Date: Mid-18th century
Style: D. José I / Portuguese Rococo
Material: Hand-carved walnut
Upholstery: Later ochre-toned textile
Description
An elegant and authentic pair of Portuguese D. José I period fauteuils, dating to the mid-18th century. Crafted in richly toned walnut, these armchairs reflect the refined Rococo sensibility of the reign of King José I — characterized by sinuous lines, ornamental restraint, and graceful proportions.
The shaped backs, scrolling arms, and carved cabriole legs create a fluid silhouette, while the delicate foliate detailing along the crest rail and apron highlights the artisanal quality of the woodwork. The later upholstery in ochre-hued fabric offers a warm contrast to the dark walnut, adding visual richness while preserving comfort and usability.
These fauteuils exemplify 18th-century Portuguese craftsmanship at its height, blending decorative elegance with structural solidity — ideal for classical interiors or sophisticated contemporary environments.
Condition
Excellent antique condition. Structurally sound, with minor wear to the wood consistent with age. Upholstery renewed.
Notes
A distinctive and collectible pair of Rococo fauteuils, perfect for refined seating arrangements or collectors of period Portuguese furniture.
