Details
Refined French Louis XIII Carver armchairs, freshly upholstered by our in-house upholsterer in alabaster Belgian linen. The tailored seats and high, upright backs are meticulously finished with self-piping and a hand-pleated skirt, exposing beautifully turned oak legs joined by sculptural stretchers and scrolled arms. At the back, three linen ties cascade down - a quietly elegant detail that softens the stately form. Equally suited to a bedroom, entryway, or sitting room, or as statement seating at each end of a dining table.
Listing is for one chair, with two available.
Edition 2/2 available
Style
These Louis XIII armchairs are defined by scroll arms, bold turned legs, and block-and-ball stretchers. Originating in 17th-century France, this silhouette marries Gothic solidity with Renaissance refinement, later revived for its timeless poise and balance.

These are not new items; their gentle imperfections, subtle marks, and rich patina are part of what make them unique and beautiful. Minor variations from the images may occur, reflecting each piece’s rich heritage, unless otherwise noted.
Easy Transparent Shipping
When you unlock the Cabinet, we want the experience to feel seamless. Every detail has been considered - including delivery - so your piece can travel from our hands to yours with care, and without hidden costs waiting after checkout.
For our Melbourne collectors, we offer The Cabinet Courier - a shared delivery route for those located within 20km of the Melbourne CBD.
When several pieces are bound for the same direction, we’ll select a day within the next two weeks to dispatch all orders together. We’ll be in touch to organise your delivery date, and on that day, the Cabinet will travel across the city - each piece carefully couriered from our hands to yours.
By joining The Cabinet Courier, you’re receiving an elegant and economical shipping option. The only requirement is a little flexibility and proximity - metropolitan Melbourne only, within 20km of the city. Please do not select this if you fall outside of these parameters.

A Note on Character & Age
Each vintage and antique piece in our collection carries its own history - a quiet record of time, craftsmanship, and use. These are not new items; their gentle imperfections, subtle marks, and rich patina are part of what make them unique and beautiful.
We see these characteristics not as flaws, but as evidence of a life well-lived - the depth and texture that only age can bestow. Minor variations from the images may occur, reflecting each piece’s singular story. Unless otherwise stated, all sales are final.
