About

This elegant antique French armchair was crafted in France circa 1880 and exemplifies the graceful lines and refined ornamentation of the Louis XV style. Constructed of solid walnut, the chair features a beautifully shaped barrel-form back with double cane panels to the back and sides, lending lightness, ventilation, and visual texture while highlighting the quality of late 19th century French craftsmanship. The walnut frame displays a warm, rich patina that enhances the depth of the carved decoration throughout. The curved crest rail, arms, apron, and legs are finely carved with scrolling foliate and floral motifs typical of the Louis XV tradition. The armrests are fitted with leather pads trimmed with decorative brass nailheads, complementing the removable black leather seat cushion, which provides comfortable seating while maintaining the chair’s elegant proportions. The chair rests on slender cabriole legs adorned with carved detailing and terminating in delicate feet. This antique French armchair is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. Both decorative and functional, it works beautifully as a desk chair, side chair, or accent piece in a study, bedroom, or living space, offering timeless French elegance and craftsmanship.
