Classic antique lyre-back armchair in Empire / Federal Revival style, dating to the early 20th century. This is a beautifully shaped, solid wood chair with elegant scroll arms and the distinctive harp (lyre) back design.
The chair is sturdy and comfortable, with a removable upholstered seat. It shows authentic age-related wear to the finish, especially on the arms and front rail, which gives it a warm, time-earned patina. No structural issues — all joints feel solid. Upholstery is clean and serviceable, though likely not original.
Perfect as:
A desk or writing chair
A reading or accent chair
A decorative piece for a traditional or eclectic room
