$710

One original farmhouse armchair, a rare find. Dimensions: Height x Width x Depth 91 x 48 x 40 cm, Seat height 46 cm. A rare and magnificently preserved farmhouse armchair from the Alpine region, circa 1650, crafted from solid, dark-patinated walnut. This piece is among the most impressive historical seating of its kind. The backrest is an absolute highlight: powerfully carved, fully sculpted, and with incredible stability that is immediately apparent. The central heart motif, flanked on both sides by elaborately crafted mythical creatures, is framed by rich volutes and foliate ornaments. The engraved year 1652 refers to the historical tradition of this style and represents an era of true craftsmanship. The solid walnut seat displays a beautifully grained surface, is cleanly finished, and pleasantly smooth. The turned legs are harmoniously proportioned and lend the armchair impressive stability despite its age. This armchair is perfectly suited for living rooms, entryways, collection rooms, alpine chalet interiors, or as a prestigious standalone piece in modern living spaces. Its presence is bold, authentic, and utterly timeless. Thanks to its solid wood construction and the longevity of traditional craftsmanship, this piece represents pure sustainability, and exceptionally early farmhouse furniture possesses strong potential for appreciation in the art and antiques market. Don't miss out on this historic piece!
