This Antique Empire Lions Head Gaming Chair, dating to circa 1840, is a striking example of the Empire style, showcasing both regal design and masterful craftsmanship. The mahogany frame is accentuated by intricate lion’s head carvings that flank the crest rail, adding a dramatic and noble flair. The scrolled arms and elegantly curved backrest further enhance the chair’s sophisticated appearance, supported by turned legs that reflect the durability and design sensibility of the period.
The newer olive green upholstery offers a fresh, modern touch while still respecting the chair’s historical origins. Though the upholstery has been replaced, it is in good condition, complementing the carved detailing with understated elegance. The brass nailhead trim adds a refined accent, following the contours of the seat and backrest.
Perfect for a library, study, or period-inspired interior, this Empire gaming chair blends historic grandeur with contemporary comfort. Its finely carved details, particularly the lion’s head motifs, make it a standout in any collection of 19th-century antique furniture. 41h x 22w x 20d seat height 19
