Antique Reclining Armchairs

Antique French reclining armchairs are a new obsession of mine. These are two that I've purchased in the past couple of months that are absolutely beautiful! The old ratchet hardware is the best part. I can't wait to get these restored and reupholstered!

  1. These are so cool!!! Have never seen anything like them before. They look in great shape. How old do you think they are? Rhonda

  2. We have an antique recliner that belonged to my husband's grandmother and I've haven't seen another until this post. And you have two?

  3. The first chair is circa 1900, and the second is mid 1800s.

    Kim - That's so cool that you have one of your own! These are for clients of mine. You really have to search, but you can still find this style of chair. One came from Amy Perlin in NYC which had just closed, and the other from a vendor in North Carolina via 1st Dibs.
