Pair of Napoleon III Wrought Iron Winter Garden Armchair Frames

These stunning winter garden low armchair frames from the Napoleon III era (1852–1870) exhibit a distinctive blend of elegance and craftsmanship, characterized by gracefully curved scrollwork and riveted wrought iron construction. Originally, these chairs featured attached fabric stretched across the frame, providing a comfortable yet airy seating solution, typical of 19th-century garden furniture. Over time, the fabric has disappeared, leaving behind the beautifully aged iron structure, now finished in a creamy white lacquer with hints of pale green. The soft patina and subtle wear enhance their historical charm, making them a rare and evocative find.

Whether restored with new fabric or displayed in their current state as decorative objects, these chairs bring a touch of romantic French elegance to any winter garden, sunroom, or patio setting. They would make an exceptional addition to a conservatory or garden setting, placed near potted greenery or floral arrangements, they would revive the nostalgia of 19th-century garden aesthetics.
