Description

This Antique Federal Barrel Back and newly Upholstered Armchair is a beautiful example of late 18th to early nineteenth-century craftsmanship. The chair’s barrel back shape is typical of the Federal period, and it has a frame made of rich, solid mahogany with gently tapered legs and subtle carvings that end in original brass casters. The upholstery is a work of art in itself, made of a vivid blue fabric with a delicately woven geometric pattern and a row of brass nailhead trim that outlines the profile of this perfectly curved chair, lending charm and elegance. The chair’s seat and back are well-padded, and the high back and softly curved arms provide adequate support. Whether placed in a large living room, a refined study, or any fitting living space, this antique chair will become a focal point of the room and elevate practically any interior decor with sophistication and classic appeal.
