Uncompromising Hand-Carved Artistry
The inherent value and soul of the Chantilly Armchair reside in its breathtaking frame. It is meticulously hand-carved from solid hardwood by master artisans. From the gentle, scalloped arch of the crest rail, blooming with intricate floral motifs, to the gracefully swept cabriole legs, every curve is achieved without the use of automated machinery.
This dedication to traditional, from-scratch woodworking ensures that your chair is a singular work of art. The frame is then hand-finished in a radiant antique gold patina that emphasizes the depth of the deep relief carvings, capturing the light and commanding attention from every angle.
Haute Couture Upholstery
Draped in a luminous palette of pearl and ivory, the upholstery features a highly refined, tone-on-tone damask jacquard on the inner back and seat, offering a subtle, sophisticated shimmer. The exterior and structural framing are wrapped in a plush, complementary velvet-textured solid.
The defining visual hallmark of this chair is its extraordinary ruched (gathered) detailing along the seat box. Framed by elegant braided gimp trim, this time-intensive tailored finish provides a remarkable dimensional depth reminiscent of antique European haute couture.

A Note on Our Dimensions: Because our wooden frames are expertly manufactured from scratch, we maintain complete control over our measurements. We do not restrict our designs to standard, mass-produced sizing, ensuring each piece retains its intended grand proportions.
✨ Designer Tips & Commissioning Details
- Pairing: The Chantilly Armchair shines brightest when purchased as a pair, creating a perfect symmetrical vignette across a small accent table or framing a window.
- Contrast: Allow the rich gold and bright ivory to stand out by placing the chair against deeper, moody wall colors like a muted sage green, deep plum, or rich navy.
- Expanding Your Collection: If you plan to expand your set in the future, please bear in mind our manufacturing process. While we can confidently recreate the solid wooden structure from scratch, matching intricate woven fabric patterns perfectly at a later date can be challenging due to textile mill variations. We can only guarantee identical fabric matching for subsequent orders if you select a plain color fabric.
📌 Care & Maintenance
• Vacuum the ivory fabric lightly using a clean upholstery attachment.
• To preserve the intricate ruched detailing, occasionally smooth the folds gently by hand.
• Dust the gold-leafed wood with a soft, dry natural-bristle brush, avoiding any chemical cleaners or damp cloths.
• Keep out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent the subtle damask pattern from fading.
