HOT ! 19th Century Italian Armchair with Zebra Upholstery

The chair has been expertly recovered in a striking combination of materials. The seat is upholstered in deep black velvet, offering a refined, tactile contrast to the expressive carving, while the back is clad in natural zebra hide, carefully centered to showcase the graphic striping and finished with a subtle tail detail that adds sculptural interest and authenticity. Both the seat and back are trimmed with hand-applied nailhead detailing, lending a tailored finish and underscoring the chair’s craftsmanship.

This armchair is a compelling blend of early Italian craftsmanship and bold, modern upholstery, making it equally at home in a layered European interior or as a statement piece in a contemporary space. Strong yet elegant, it functions beautifully as an accent chair in a library, dressing room, or living area, offering history, texture, and undeniable presence.\\
