About the Item

This original and one-of-a-kind 19th-century Baroque-style carved armchair has been reimagined by Australian designer Wesley Smith as a collectible statement piece for contemporary interiors. Expertly restored and reupholstered, the chair features richly symbolic, surrealist imagery of classical religious iconography floral patterns. Through his distinctive artistic lens, Smith transforms this historic armchair into a compelling narrative object—bridging the sacred and the surreal in a bold, modern context. The backrest features a dramatic floral skull composition—rich in texture and detail—set against a deep teal background. The seat is adorned with soft peonies, candlelight, and religious imagery, including a crucifix and antique portraits. Ideal for collectors, designers, and art-forward interiors seeking a blend of historical opulence and contemporary storytelling.
