17th-Century French Baroque Walnut Spool Armchair with Petit Point Tapestry

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A French Baroque spool armchair in walnut, dating to the 17th century during the Louis XIV period. The frame is defined by turned, bobbin-carved uprights and stretchers, giving the chair its sculptural rhythm and strong architectural presence. The arms are gently scrolled and worn in all the right places—evidence of centuries of use and touch. The seat and back are upholstered in a beautiful petit point tapestry depicting a pastoral figure surrounded by foliage, rendered in warm, muted tones that feel both historic and inviting. The tapestry shows age and character consistent with its period, contributing to the armchair’s authenticity and charm. Generous in scale yet not overwhelming, the chair offers a comfortable seat at 17” high with a 19” depth, and arm height of 25”. A striking accent in a study, living room, or alongside a console, it brings presence, history, and texture into the room effortlessly.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
