About the Item

Crafted in France circa 1880, this elegant barrel armchair exemplifies the French Renaissance Revival style. Built of solid oak, the rounded backrest features intricately carved scroll and shell motifs, while each arm terminates in a finely sculpted lion head. The seat is handwoven in natural cane, providing both comfort and visual lightness. Below, the chair rests on four beautifully turned barley twist legs joined by an “X” stretcher centered with a decorative finial. The armchair retains its rich walnut-brown patina and showcases superb craftsmanship throughout, from the graceful curvature of the frame to the sculptural detail of the carvings. Sturdy and full of character, this refined antique seat would complement a gentleman’s study, library, or any traditional interior with warmth and distinction. Measures: 25.5” W x 22” D x 31.5” H.
