Dutch Bobbin Armchair

Netherlands, 20th Century

$495

Antique Sylvie Favorite One-Of-A-Kind

From the Netherlands and dating to the early 20th century, this bobbin armchair follows a form that traces back to 17th-century Dutch and Flemish interiors, where turned wood furniture like this was made to signal craftsmanship as much as use. The structure is built entirely from solid wood with tightly spaced bobbin-turned legs, stretchers, and arm supports, each spindle repeating in rhythm across the frame. Originally made for everyday sitting in dining rooms or by the hearth, these chairs were built to hold up to constant use. Sylvie loves it placed at the head of a table or pulled slightly off to the side in a living space where she can shine.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
