About the Item
This striking 19th-century French armchair is a superb example of the curule or “Dagobert” style, inspired by early medieval throne designs and reinterpreted in the Renaissance Revival tradition. Hand-carved from solid walnut and richly patinated with time, the desk chair showcases a sculptural silhouette formed by its signature X-shaped base, accented with scrolled legs and detailed stretcher supports.
Both the seat and back are upholstered in dark brown tooled leather, secured with large brass nailhead trim for a bold, architectural presence. The upper backrest is topped with ornate carved motifs including stylized foliage and wave-like trim, while the sides are decorated with foliate carvings and rolled armrests for added refinement.
Sturdy, elegant, and full of historic character, this antique curule chair offers both visual impact and functional seating. Measuring 25.5 inches wide by 22 inches deep and 40.5 inches high, with a seat height of 18.5 inches, it is ideal as a decorative accent in a study, library, or alongside a console. Excellent condition commensurate with age and use.
