Country Armchairs

COUNTRY STYLE

Functional pieces made with local materials that can stand the test of time have defined antique and vintage country furniture around the world.

Country style has varied based on regional tastes, from French Country with tufted sofas and cane-framed beds to American Country with stately Windsor chairs and tables built of pine. Each is imbued with touches that are often described as rustic, a style that is inclusive of a range of decorating modes such as country and farmhouse. Exposed wood, traditional fabrics, natural colors and a sense of heritage through distressed surfaces and handcrafted design are all attributes of country-style interiors.

Country furniture and decor can encompass movements from across centuries that reflect rural life, such as French Provincial, which emerged in the 17th century, Black Forest, which became popular in early-19th-century Switzerland with sculptural furniture carved with animals and Adirondack style, with chairs that debuted in the United States in the early 20th century and became a rustic favorite.

The design of country-style furniture isn’t guided by fleeting trends or elite tastes. Sofas upholstered with animal hide, desks made of oak or pine that show off the grain of their material and dining room tables balanced on sturdy square legs are all popular examples of country furniture. Although the aesthetics of country furniture are eclectic, the pieces are unified by meticulous construction that favors utility over ornamentation.

Contemporary country interiors usually have muted palettes, with white walls and calming shades of blue, where heirloom pieces mingle with vintage baskets and gingham textiles. Unpretentious and timeless, country furniture adds warmth to any home, whether it’s a cabin in the woods or an urban loft apartment.

Antique French Shearling Upholstered Armchair Completely Restored Old School
Located in BENSENVILLE, IL
Antique French Shearling Upholstered Armchair Completely Restored using Old School methods, which simply means we do not use foam rubber for padding and actually tie the coil springs by hand, However, this Antique French Armchair is so old that there is not a straight line in sight for everything is a bit askew. I would prefer to simply describe it as cattywampus. Apparently the internet defines it as "something askew, out of line, or in disarray". None of this bothers us and it comes with the territory of purchasing 200-year old French Armchairs, so we're used to it. Our French Antique Armchair was completely rebuilt from the frame up and is rock solid. The covering is genuine Sheep Shearling and we now typically stock several Antique chairs covered...
