SILVER Seller in Novara, Italia
Louis Philippe period Voltaire armchair from the mid-19th century, crafted in solid walnut with original beige and gold damask fabric upholstery. The high, curved backrest is topped with a contoured moulding featuring scroll carvings in the late Charles X style. The shaped armrests end in elegant scrolls and rest on recessed supports integrated into the seat structure. The front legs have the typical cabriole curve of 19th-century Italian design, while the rear legs are more squared and sober. An old paper cataloging/inventory label is present on the back. The armchair requires restoration: the walnut frame is solid but shows signs of age, small surface losses, and woodworm holes (requiring standard woodworm protection). The original upholstery and fabric are worn, with tears, fraying, and deep wear on the armrests and seat. Dimensions: height 110 cm, width 66 cm, depth 85 cm. An authentic piece ideal for a restoration project or reinterpretation with modern fabrics.
