Know before you buy
No, the chair has been recently reupholstered in soft, durable linen. This update ensures the piece is comfortable and clean while preserving the integrity of the original 19th-century frame.
The frame is crafted from solid wood and features an aged patina consistent with its late 19th-century origins. While it shows signs of historical charm, it remains structurally sound and retains its intricate hand-carved detailing.
The chair is designed for comfort with a seat height of 19.5 inches and a depth of 18.5 inches. While it is well-suited for a living room or study, its traditional upright design is best for occasional seating rather than deep lounging.
No, this piece is intended for indoor use only. The antique wood frame and linen upholstery are not treated for outdoor elements and should be kept in a climate-controlled environment to prevent damage.
The chair measures 24 inches wide, 25.5 inches deep, and 44.75 inches high. Given its height, it works best in spaces with enough clearance to showcase the detailed backrest without overwhelming smaller entryways.
