Carved Oak And Leather Glastonbury Armchair
Carved Oak And Leather Glastonbury Armchair
A Victorian Carved Oak and Leatherette Upholstered 'Glastonbury' Type Armchair.
An uncommon and richly detailed example of a Glastonbury-type armchair, crafted in the Gothic Revival style during the second half of the 19th century. Unlike the traditional X-frame design, this version features a more conventional construction with turned legs and an H-stretcher, offering added stability while maintaining strong medieval-inspired character.
The chair has a raised, carved back with Gothic motifs, and distinctive open arms, which are carved and padded with green leather cushions, echoing the stuffed leather seat and back. The combination of detailed carving and period-appropriate green leather upholstery gives the piece a refined yet robust presence.
A striking and decorative chair that reflects the Victorian era's fascination with historical forms, reinterpreted here with comfort and craftsmanship in mind.
