One original farmhouse armchair, a rare find. Dimensions: Height x Width x Depth 91 x 48 x 40 cm, Seat height 46 cm. A rare and magnificently preserved farmhouse armchair from the Alpine region, circa 1650, crafted from solid, dark‑patinated walnut. The backrest is an absolute highlight: powerfully carved, fully sculpted, with a central heart motif flanked by mythical creatures, rich volutes and foliate ornaments. The engraved year 1652 refers to the historical tradition of this style and represents an era of true craftsmanship. The solid walnut seat displays a beautifully grained surface, is cleanly finished, and pleasantly smooth. The turned legs are harmoniously proportioned and lend the armchair impressive stability despite its age. Perfect for living rooms, entryways, collection rooms, alpine chalet interiors, or as a prestigious standalone piece in modern living spaces. Pure sustainability, and a strong potential for appreciation in the art and antiques market.
