Beautiful solid mahogany armchair by Karpen (Chicago & New York), one of the premier American furniture makers of the early 20th century.
Features:
• Classic Colonial / Chippendale Revival styling
• Cabriole legs with carved claw-style feet
• Elegant scrolled arms
• High supportive back
• Original Karpen brass maker’s plaque
This is a well-built, substantial chair — not modern mass production. The frame is solid and sturdy.
Upholstery is clean and usable as-is, or the chair would be stunning reupholstered in a modern fabric.
Shows typical age-appropriate wear to the finish (see photos).
Perfect for:
• Traditional interiors
• Library / study
• Accent chair
• Designer reupholstery project
Dimensions available upon request.
This chair has been in my family since it was new. Well cared for in a non-smoking home. I'm downsizing. See less
