About the Item

Step back into the elegance of the late 19th century with this stunning Renaissance Revival walnut armchair, an embodiment of Victorian grandeur and artistic detail. With hand-carved flourishes, scrolled arms, and a dramatic silhouette, this piece was made not only for comfort but to convey refinement and taste. The chair’s floral needlepoint back panel is a standout feature, boasting hand-stitched blooms in a medley of antique tones. Each flower and leaf is carefully arranged against a hunter green background, giving the chair a rich and stately presence. This style of decorative embroidery was often a mark of domestic refinement and remains a testament to the artistry of the period. Supporting the upholstery is a frame made of warm, solid walnut—carved with precision into gentle curves, turned legs, and classically inspired motifs. The finish retains its original luster and beautifully complements the upholstery’s jewel tones. You’ll notice the play of light across the wood grain, adding depth to the chair’s presence. Matching the chair in style and elegance is a coordinating footstool, crafted with the same carved walnut details and upholstered in a complementary fabric. It enhances the user’s comfort while tying the seating arrangement together. Both pieces showcase the thoughtful design balance between ornamentation and usability. Ideal for use in a formal parlor, library, or beside a fireplace, this needlepoint armchair with footstool offers antique luxury with modern-day comfort. It invites long reading sessions, afternoon teas, or quiet contemplation, all while grounding your space in a sense of historic beauty. Whether you’re a collector, a period interior enthusiast, or simply seeking a chair with timeless grace, this 19th-century Renaissance Revival set is sure to make a lasting impression in your home.
