About the Item

A handsome French armchair dating to the 19th century, featuring deep tufted suede upholstery accented with distinctive purple buttons that lend an unexpected touch of character. Gracefully scrolled arms, a rolled back, and turned ebonized legs combine to create a silhouette that is both elegant and inviting, making this chair equally at home in a library, living room, or designer-curated interior. Measuring 27 inches high, 29 inches wide, and 27 inches deep, with a comfortable 15-inch seat height, this generously proportioned armchair retains its original vintage suede upholstery, which displays the expected signs of age and use, including areas of wear and patina that enhance its authentic character. As with all vintage upholstered seating, we recommend reupholstering before everyday use to suit your personal taste and requirements. 145 Antiques offers a carefully curated collection of vintage furniture, lighting, and decorative objects, thoughtfully sourced throughout Europe for their exceptional craftsmanship, timeless design, and enduring appeal.
