MEDIEVAL-STYLE CARVED WOOD ARMCHAIR, France, circa 1900

Details

French medieval-revival armchair, circa 1900. Carved wood. Dimensions: height 130 cm, seat height 45 cm, width 52 cm, depth 44 cm.

Description

The armchair is characterised by a very tall back, a strongly vertical structure and extensive carved decoration. Its silhouette evokes medieval and Renaissance furniture as reinterpreted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Context

This type of historicist furniture reflects the period taste for earlier styles and interiors with a strong decorative identity. The monumentality of the back and the presence of carved wood make it a characterful piece, particularly suited to a collection display or an eclectic interior.
