About the Item

This stately armchair embodies the transitional elegance of the William IV to Early Victorian period, dating to the mid-19th century. Crafted from rich mahogany, the frame is boldly carved, showcasing the heavy, sculptural forms characteristic of the era. The scrolled armrests flow gracefully into the front supports, which culminate in dramatic lion’s paw feet—a hallmark of late Regency and William IV design. The tall, gently curved backrest and seat are upholstered in burgundy faux leather, deeply button-tufted for both comfort and style. The upholstery is outlined with classic stud detailing, adding refinement and definition to the silhouette—robust in presence yet finely detailed, the chair balances ornamental carving with practical comfort. Key stylistic markers—such as the lion’s paw feet, scrolled arms, and button tufting—firmly situate this piece within the aesthetic progression from Regency delicacy to Victorian opulence. Mahogany, with its deep reddish-brown hue and polished finish, underscores its quality and authenticity. This armchair is not only a functional seat but also a testament to history and craftsmanship, making it ideal for anchoring a library, study, or a distinguished living space.
