French Empire Mahogany Armchair with Lion Paw Feet and Brass Studs – Mid-19th Century

Elegant French Empire armchair dating from the mid-19th century, featuring a distinctive barrel-back design with an enveloping curved backrest, characteristic of French Empire furniture.

The structure is crafted in dark mahogany, while the seat is upholstered in sage green fabric. The upholstery is finished with decorative brass studs following the perimeter of the seat, providing both an ornamental detail and a practical function for securing the fabric.

The armchair is distinguished by its lion paw feet in cast bronze/brass, a classic motif of the Empire decorative repertoire inspired by the archaeological taste of the Napoleonic period. The combination of dark mahogany, sage green upholstery and gilt-metal details gives the piece an imposing yet elegant character.

An original and highly decorative French Empire armchair, ideal for classic interiors, period residences and sophisticated eclectic settings.
