About the Item

A chair with presence, and just the right amount of swagger. This 17th-century Louis XIII armchair, constructed of rich walnut, balances baroque drama with a stripped-down ease that makes it feel surprisingly modern. The frame shows off its sculptural qualities in the bold scroll of the arms, the rhythmic turning of the legs, and the architectural stretcher, which meets at center with a carved acorn finial—a small but decisive flourish. The walnut has deepened with centuries of use, its patina a quiet counterpoint to the crisp new upholstery: a handsome gray linen with tape trim and a line of brass nailheads tracing the seat and back. What could have read as heavy instead feels sharp and contemporary, a 400-year-old classic reinvented with the lightest touch. Perfect by a fireplace, anchoring a library corner, or standing on its own as a singular statement, it’s the sort of chair that holds court without trying. This platform may flag this piece as priced above average—but that judgment is based on an algorithm that overlooks patina, provenance, condition, and that certain je ne sais quoi that matters to collectors.

17th Century Louis XIII Armchair

Located in Saint-Ouen, FR

During the first half of the seventeenth century chairs evolve towards a new model today known as Louis XIII foreshadowing the armchair. Chairs adopt a widen and lower silhouette. Horizontal lines prevail. Cushions disappear supplanted by horse hair upholstery. This chair stands on four feet linked by an H-shaped spacer and a frontal cross-bar. Legs, spacers, cross-bar and arm-rests are all turned as rosary beads...
