About the Item
This handsome 19th-century English upholstered armchair is crafted in carved oak and features the distinctive bobbin-turned elements characteristic of Victorian furniture inspired by earlier Jacobean and Elizabethan forms. The chair’s structure is defined by turned front and back uprights, closely spaced turned spindles forming the backrest, and boldly articulated arms terminating in rounded handholds.
Raised on turned legs fitted with original brass and ceramic casters, the chair was designed for both comfort and mobility. The generously proportioned seat, back, and arms are fully upholstered and have been re-covered in a neutral patterned textile that complements the warmth of the oak while allowing the sculptural quality of the woodwork to remain visually dominant.
Bobbin furniture enjoyed renewed popularity in England during the mid- to late 19th century, reflecting the Victorian taste for historic revival styles combined with solid craftsmanship and domestic comfort. Though the maker is unidentified, the quality of carving and proportions suggest production by a skilled English workshop.
Both decorative and functional, this armchair is well suited to a study, library, or sitting room and stands as a fine example of Victorian revival furniture.
