Item Description
Stunning Pair of 19th-Century Victorian Walnut Colonial Reclining Armchairs, circa 1860
This rare and exceptional pair of 19th-century colonial Victorian walnut reclining armchairs beautifully encapsulates the luxury and craftsmanship of the period. Generously scaled and wonderfully comfortable, they combine refined design with the relaxed elegance of colonial campaign furniture.
Each chair features a flat lath slatted back with turned outer uprights, sweeping shaped arms, and a leather seat with a loose, hand dyed buttoned leather cushion. The frames are crafted from richly figured walnut, finely shaped throughout and raised on elegant front and rear splayed legs joined by a turned stretcher, with a matching flat lath slatted footrest for full lounging comfort.
Retaining their original deep brown leather buttoned cushions and superb patina, the chairs exude warmth, character, and authenticity. Leather squab cushions with float buttons enhance both comfort and style, while the original colour, leather seat, back, and cushions all speak to the quality and integrity of the piece. Seat height is a comfortable 55cm.
Designed to recline smoothly to an almost fully horizontal position, these armchairs offer true relaxation. In excellent condition and crafted in England circa 1860, this magnificent pair is a striking representation of colonial Victorian design. Perfect for a library, drawing room, living room, covered garden terrace, or patio, they make a powerful statement wherever placed.
A highly desirable pair of period armchairs, beautifully made, wonderfully comfortable, and even more impressive in person, with professionally hand dyed leather in a warm, deep brown tone that enhances their exceptional character.
