Gothic Curule Armchair in Carved Walnut, France, circa 1880

Antique French carved walnut desk chair, circa 1880. With Burgundy Leather Upholstery.

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. Hand-carved from solid walnut and richly patinated with time, the desk chair showcases a sculptural silhouette formed by its signature X-shaped base, accented with scrolled legs and detailed stretcher supports. 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.

Authentic 'Office Chair' from the administrative buildings of Chandigarh (Ref. PJ-SI-28-B). In excellent condition - joints have been restored and cane work replaced. Pierre Jeanneret (22 March 1896 - 4 December 1967) was a Swiss architect who collaborated with his cousin, Le Corbusier, designing furniture for Le Corbusier's vast modernist complex at Chandigarh. Jeanneret remained for over 15 years as the project’s chief architect and the city remains a masterpiece of the modern vision. The pair pioneered a new aesthetic that placed function and order over embellishment—Jeanneret’s work imbuing the strict geometry of modernism with lighter materials like cane and wood. Jeanneret also collaborated with other modern masters, Charlotte Perriand on experiments in aluminium and wood, and Jean Prouve developing prefabricated housing.
