About the Item

A finely crafted antique oak armchair with a distinctive barrel-shaped backrest, most likely originating from Scotland around the 1920s. This chair has been refinished and newly reupholstered, ensuring it is both functional and striking as a decorative accent. Made from solid oak, the chair displays warm natural tones and visible wood grain that highlight its quality craftsmanship. The structural form features strong geometric lines softened by the curved barrel back, giving it a bold yet refined silhouette. Subtle wood-carved joinery details, visible in the circular dowel accents, underscore the traditional handcrafting techniques of its time. 1 The seat has been newly upholstered in a crisp, neutral fabric, making it versatile for a variety of interior settings. Its compact yet sturdy form allows it to serve as a statement accent chair, occasional chair, or even a unique desk or dressing chair.
