Danish Lacquer & Gilt Baroque Armchairs from Kastellet Copenhagen, 19th Century, Set of 2

18 People watching this product now!

An important pair of beech-framed Baroque armchairs, made in the 19th century and modelled directly after 1725 originals. They bear their original red lacquer finish with gilt foliage detailing, and a very heavy blue striped upholstery.

They were made for the Kommandantboligen (Commander’s House) at Kastellet in Copenhagen, Denmark – a beautiful 18th Century mansion situated in a well-preserved 17th Century star-shaped fortress.

The Kommandantboligen, designed by German-Danish architect Elias David Häusser in 1725, was, until 2008, the official residence of Denmark’s Chief of Defence. These were removed from the house in 2017 during a program of renovation and modernisation. See photographs for provenance, which show the rear yard of Kommandantboligen and the Kastellet Lutheran church and windmill in the background.

moreGood — This vintage item remains fully functional, but it shows sign of age through scuffs, dings, faded finishes, minimal upholstery defects, or visible repairs. They have sturdy frames, very firm padding on the seats, and the upholstery is in beautiful condition. Some wear to the lacquer (pictured), but generally in excellent condition for age. less
