Customizable Bernhardt Queen Anne Style Dining Armchair

Elegant, sculptural, and unapologetically romantic—this vintage Bernhardt Queen Anne Style armchair has all the drama you want in a statement piece: a tall, shaped back, sweeping arms, and curvy cabriole legs that feel straight out of an old library.

This chair is a late 20^th-century reproduction by Bernhardt Furniture, a company founded in 1889 in North Carolina. It mimics the Queen Anne Style that flourished in early 18^th-century England and America. The style is characterized by the S-curved cabriole legs and ball-and-claw feet which were originally influenced by Chinese design elements brought to the West by the East Indica Company.

This chair is being fully restored by Seat of Wisdom Studio: the frame will be stripped/prepped and refinished (or repainted + regilded by request), then professionally reupholstered with fresh foundations for comfort and longevity. Choose your fabric and we’ll tailor the final look—moody velvet, patterned linen, mohair, or something totally unexpected.

Details

• Full frame restoration + finish (paint/regild options available)
• Complete reupholstery (seat + back) with renewed padding as needed
• Fabric is selected by the customer (priced separately)
• Shipping quoted separately (local pickup may be available)

Want it bold? Go silver-foiled wood with peacock mohair. Want it timeless? Deep walnut with velvet. Either way—this chair will own the room.

Fabric and shipping are additional; local pickup in Philadelphia area available.
