Antique Early 19th Century Georgian Arm Chair
Embrace the allure of historical craftsmanship with this Antique Early 19th Century Georgian Arm Chair, a fine specimen of Georgian elegance and comfort, albeit with a nod to its venerable age shown by a missing piece on the front right foot. This chair exemplifies the refined aesthetics characteristic of the early 1800s, featuring an open, lyre-shaped backrest that merges beautifully with intricate carvings on its crest. Such details not only showcase the artistic expressions of the era but also the skilled craftsmanship that has allowed this piece to withstand the test of time.
The armrests are gracefully sculpted, sloping gently to provide a natural rest for the arms, an inviting feature that enhances comfort without sacrificing style. The chair stands on robust, delicately carved legs, their curves and flourishes echoing the organic forms popular in Georgian design, culminating in elegant, scrolled feet—though one bears the mark of time with a small missing segment.
Upholstered in a soft, coral fabric adorned with a subtle floral pattern, the seat offers both comfort and a touch of color, which contrasts beautifully with the rich, deep hues of the wooden frame. This choice of upholstery adds a modern twist to the piece, making it suitable for contemporary interiors while honoring its antique origins.
This Georgian arm chair is more than just a place to sit; it is a piece of history, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of exquisite taste and meticulous attention to detail. Ideal for those who cherish both aesthetic appeal and historical value, it serves as a stunning accent in any room, promising to spark conversations and admiration for years to come. 38h. 25w x 21d seat height 19
