Empire Revival Mahogany Armchair – Carved Lion Heads & Paw Feet, Red Leather, c.1900
A distinguished Empire Revival armchair, circa 1900, showcasing the grandeur of American neoclassical design. Crafted from solid mahogany, this piece features intricately carved lion head arm terminals and robust paw feet, embodying the strength and elegance characteristic of the style. The chair is upholstered in rich red leather, complemented by brass nailhead trim, adding a touch of sophistication. Its high, rounded back and generously proportioned seat offer both comfort and visual appeal.

Comparable pieces, such as those sold on 1stDibs and LiveAuctioneers, highlight the enduring appeal and value of such finely crafted furniture.
