How dual pricing works: If a buyer hits Buy Now, the auction closes and current bidders receive an automatic notification with the option to top the Buy-Now price next time. The seller of this lot has chosen to keep Buy Now active throughout — some lots disable Buy Now after the first bid (you'll see "Buy Now closed" on the card).
Solid rosewood case, professionally restored 2024
Original 8-day mechanical movement, recently serviced
A handsome pair of antique oak armchairs, likely early to mid-20th century, showcasing classic English Jacobean revival styling. Each chair features a tall, arched back with three vertical slats framed by turned uprights capped with simple finials, and matching baluster-turned arm supports and stretchers.
The seats are leather riempies, framed within solid oak construction that highlights the rich, dark brown finish typical of this period’s craftsmanship. The overall form combines sturdiness and visual rhythm, with symmetry emphasized through the turned details on legs and cross-stretchers.
Though designed in the early English tradition, these chairs retain a rustic charm that allows them to suit country, cottage, or vintage-inspired interiors. Perfect as fireside chairs, occasional hall seats, or dining accents in a heritage setting.
