About the Item

This impressive pair of carved walnut throne armchairs exemplifies strength, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. Each chair features finely carved lion faces at the terminals of the arms, a powerful symbol of courage and authority that elevates their regal presence. The sturdy walnut frames are richly detailed, with scrolling acanthus leaves, floral carvings, and stretcher bases that showcase the artistry of traditional European design. The chairs are upholstered in original needlepoint fabric, depicting pastoral and floral motifs in warm, earthy tones. The tapestry-style upholstery adds texture and historical charm, complementing the richness of the walnut frames. Decorative nailhead trim further enhances the detailing, securing the fabric while adding an extra element of refinement. Generously scaled and commanding in appearance, these throne armchairs are ideal for use in a living room, study, library, or grand entryway. They serve as statement seating that blends seamlessly into antique-inspired interiors, add bold character and drama to Hollywood Regency settings, and provide striking contrast in mid-century modern décor. A rare and distinctive pair, these lion face carved walnut armchairs with needlepoint upholstery are both functional seating and true works of art. Measures 42.75 tall x 26.5 wide x 30.75 deep and seat height 16.25 tall.
