About the Item
Walnut Frame Tangerine Upholstery Vintage Condition
A striking example of mid-19th century French craftsmanship, this Voltaire armchair dates to the 1850s and features a richly patinated walnut frame with graceful cabriole legs, scroll arms, and a tall, gently arched back. The silhouette is unmistakably elegant—an embodiment of the romantic sensibilities of the period.
The current tangerine upholstery, while more recent, shows signs of wear and is ready to be recovered, offering an ideal canvas for customization. Structurally sound and full of character, the chair retains its vintage charm and would make a refined accent in any interior, from traditional to eclectic.
Condition:
• Frame: Excellent antique condition with age-appropriate wear
• Upholstery: Vintage condition; newer fabric with visible wear, recommended for recovering
• Seat: Comfortable and supportive
Whether placed in a reading nook, salon, or gallery setting, this piece invites both admiration and restoration.
