19th Century Howard Style Open Armchair by Robert Strahan, Dublin (c.1870)

A beautifully proportioned 19th-century Howard-style open armchair by renowned Dublin maker Strahan & Co, retaining its original maker’s stamp to the rear leg.

This low, deep-seated country house chair offers both comfort and classic elegance. It stands on turned mahogany front legs with matching arm supports, complimented by shorter rear legs all raised on castors, giving it a sturdy and well-balanced presence.

The chair is structurally sound and ready for reupholstery, presenting an excellent opportunity to customise the finish to your taste while preserving its historic character. We are happy to assist with professional upholstery - please enquire for details.

A timeless and versatile piece, ideal for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
