Atelier selection

This single-seat French armchair is part of ARSES's classic collection, crafted for formal living rooms, elegant studies and small lobbies where a showpiece is required. A glossy piano-black lacquered frame, meticulous hand-carved ornamentation and richly patterned Jacquard upholstery create a stately, refined presence.
The design follows classical French lines: graceful curved arms, a carved crest and arched legs that highlight attention to ornamental detail. Using Georgian Grade A beech for the frame allows precise carving and a high-quality piano-black lacquer finish. The textured Jacquard not only enhances the visual depth but also improves fabric durability; pairing it with a satin or matt velvet seat gives flexibility in styling.
Designed for environments with moderate traffic where visual impact matters, the armchair balances ergonomics and long-term comfort through thoughtfully shaped seat and back support. Professional joinery and assembly ensure stability and adequate weight-bearing capacity. The smooth lacquered frame and robust textiles make maintenance and cleaning easier compared with distressed or patinated finishes.
This product carries a 3-year ARSES warranty. ARSES's aftersales network provides installation support and assistance with any issues — an advantage of purchasing from the ARSES classic furniture range.
