17th-Century Spanish Baroque Armchair W/ Leather Upholstery

This 17th-century Spanish armchair exudes regal presence, embodying the bold, stately aesthetic of Spanish Baroque furniture. Crafted from solid, dark-stained wood, its sturdy frame is accentuated by intricate hand-carved stretchers, which add both structural integrity and decorative appeal. The high, straight back and wide armrests reinforce its authoritative stance, making it a chair designed for both comfort and prestige. 

The seat and backrest are upholstered in rich, aged leather, secured with large, hand-hammered brass nailheads that form an elegant border. A woven trim and decorative fringe enhance the design, adding a touch of refinement and texture. Over time, the patina of the leather and wood has deepened, further enhancing the chair’s sense of history and authenticity.

This armchair would make a striking statement in a library, study, or formal living space. Best suited as a decorative accent rather than for daily use, as evidenced by the wear and aging on the wooden frame and leather upholstery. It would make a striking addition to a traditional or eclectic interior, especially when paired with other rich textiles or in a room with dark wood furnishings.

Condition and wear consistent with age and use.
