Empire-style Office Chair With Egyptian-style Heads – Mahogany And Green Leather

Beautiful mahogany office armchair, in the Empire / Return from Egypt style, featuring elegant design and remarkable carved decoration.

The straight armrests are supported by two carved posts featuring female heads with Egyptian-style headdresses, extended by stylized forms.

The front legs end in powerful carved lion’s paws, characteristic of the Empire decorative style.

The slightly curved high backrest and the seat are upholstered in dark green leather, secured by a row of decorative nails.

The center of the backrest is adorned with an elegant gilded floral motif.

The overall silhouette, both understated and imposing, is enhanced by carved details such as palmettes, rosettes, and geometric motifs.

The leather on the seat shows significant wear, cracks, and tears, clearly visible in the photographs.

The armchair is offered in its current condition, which allows for the possibility of restoring the upholstery while preserving its antique character.

A particularly decorative armchair, ideal in front of an Empire-style desk, in a library, or in a home with character.
