A striking example of Venetian-inspired craftsmanship, this hand-carved armchair reimagines the grandeur of 18th-century design. Dating to around 1860, it is richly adorned with animated classical figures supporting the arms, their expressive forms woven into the elaborate carved frame. The warm-toned wood is embellished with scrolling foliage and naturalistic details, extending across the legs and decorative X stretcher. Deep raspberry-red velvet upholsters the generous seat and tall back, its diamond-patterned pile lending texture, colour and a dramatic contrast to the sculptural timber. A line of dark metal studs neatly traces the upholstery’s edges. Bold yet finely detailed, this exceptional chair is designed to command attention, bringing theatrical presence and old-world Venetian character to a grand entrance hall, drawing room or distinguished interior.
