About the Item

Pair of 19th Century Brazilian Empire Armchairs in Carved Tropical Hardwood A striking and authentic pair of Brazilian armchairs from the second half of the 19th century, crafted in richly grained tropical hardwood—most likely jacarandá or another noble native species. Embodying the graceful elegance of the Brazilian Empire period, these pieces combine classical European influence with regional craftsmanship, resulting in a form that is both sculptural and historically evocative. Each chair presents beautifully shaped lines, with gently curved legs and arm supports, and a caned seat restored using traditional methods. The backrests are adorned with finely hand-carved floral and shell motifs, emblematic of the Luso-Brazilian decorative language of the time. The lower splats echo this detail in harmonious proportion, adding refinement and rhythm to the composition. The surface retains a charming, timeworn patina, enriched by subtle wear and age that speak to the authenticity and dignity of these pieces. Their scale and presence make them ideal for use as statement accent chairs in living rooms, salons, libraries, or conservatories. Rare to find in matched pairs, these armchairs would suit both collectors of colonial and imperial Latin American furniture and designers seeking soulful, historically resonant pieces to anchor a room.
