Antique French Mahogany Armchair

Chair Description

This beautiful antique French amrchair was hand-crafted in France around 1890 and recently imported to our antique furniture store here in Atlanta, GA, USA. Like many antique French armchairs, this armchair is upholstered with striped floral patterns of varying hues, including red, pink, green, beige and yellow. The upholstery contrasts beautifully with the mahogany, which has aged beautifully over the years with the development of a lovely patina. In classic French style, the mahogany is intricately carved, particularly along the armrests, while the mahogany frame of this armchair is composed of turned columnar and spindle-shaped mahogany supports. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this antique French armchair is the marvelous condition that it remains in: being made in 1890, this is quite an old armchair as armchairs go, since they tend to wear out more quickly than, say, a desk, since armchairs must support the body weight of their owners. That this century-old French armchair does remain in such fantastic condition, with no damage whatsoever and no wear beyond normal fading in the upholstery, indicates not only the impressive quality of this armchair but also how well it has been taken care of. Indeed, this antique French mahogany upholstered armchair will last for decades to come, so it would certainly make a fine addition to any home or museum furniture collection!
