About the Item
This elegant 19th-century French Empire desk chair, carved circa 1870, features a sculptural mahogany frame with a rich, warm patina and classic neoclassical lines. The barrel-form back is gracefully curved, flowing seamlessly into bold, scroll-carved arm supports. The seat is upholstered in smooth black leather, secured with antique brass nailhead trim that adds a refined finishing touch.
Raised on splayed back legs and front cabriole legs, the chair exhibits the balanced proportions and architectural presence characteristic of the Empire period. The carved detailing on the arm terminals, paired with the elegant silhouette, reflects the influence of Greco-Roman design so prominent in early 19th-century France.
In excellent condition commensurate with age, with light wear and surface checks visible on the arms, this antique fauteuil de bureau is ideal for use at a writing desk, library table, or as a stylish accent in a study or living room.

19th C. French Carved Walnut Dagobert Curule Armchair with Tooled Leather
Located in Dallas, TX
This striking 19th-century French armchair is a superb example of the curule or “Dagobert” style, inspired by early medieval throne designs and reinterpreted in the Renaissance Revival tradition.

Both the seat and back are upholstered in dark brown tooled leather, secured with large brass nailhead trim for a bold, architectural presence. The upper backrest is topped with ornate carved motifs including stylized foliage and wave-like trim, while the sides are decorated with foliate carvings and rolled armrests for added refinement.
