About the Item
Antique German Corner Chair, Circa 1880 – Hand-Carved Walnut with Cane Seat
A refined example of late 19th-century German craftsmanship, this antique corner chair, dating to circa 1880, showcases the elegance and artistry of the period. Constructed from solid walnut, the chair exudes the rich warmth and natural luster characteristic of finely aged European hardwoods.
The distinctive corner design features a gently curved back, supported by turned uprights and three intricately carved splats with scroll and fan motifs—highlighting the influence of Rococo Revival and Gothic Revival styles popular in Germany at the time. The craftsmanship is meticulous, from the ornate back detailing to the finely turned legs that give the piece both structure and visual balance.
The seat is traditionally hand-caned, offering both comfort and breathability. The natural cane remains taut and intact, showcasing the high level of preservation and care this piece has received over the years. Its well-proportioned form is not only aesthetically pleasing but also ergonomically sound, with a comfortable seat height of 44 cm.
Whether placed in a reading nook, hallway, study, or as an accent piece in a curated interior, this chair makes a statement of timeless style and historical authenticity. It’s ideal for antique collectors and enthusiasts of European decorative arts seeking a unique, well-preserved piece.
