  • The Emerald Noir is a rare antique Victorian slipper chair, exquisitely restored and reupholstered in couture-level embroidery by Pierre Frey. The fabric—an intricate composition of thread and art—is inspired by 18th-century Venetian marbled paper and the decorative legacy of European printmaking guilds. As with many historic textiles, the embroidery does more than embellish—it preserves a story, stitched in symbolism, color, and cultural memory.

    The chair’s low-profile silhouette and hand-carved 19th-century wood frame reflect the refined poise of the Victorian parlor—an era defined by rituals of elegance, propriety, and architectural grace. Every curve and flourish of the frame has been preserved with reverence, then subtly enhanced to honor its original craftsmanship while bringing a quiet modernity to its form.

    Its deep emerald ground is layered with embroidered strokes of ruby, sapphire, and aquamarine—each jewel-toned detail catching light with painterly nuance. The palette is lush yet restrained, evoking a sense of intimacy, mystery, and grandeur. It is a chair designed not merely to occupy space, but to anchor it—with presence, color, and soul.

    Perfect for luxury bedrooms, dressing rooms, curated foyers, or refined entryways, The Emerald Noir transcends mere function. It is a sculptural artifact, an heirloom of visual and emotional depth. For interior designers and collectors drawn to meaningful objects that blend material history with couture refinement, this piece offers a singular expression of quiet opulence and timeless design.

    This is more than seating—it is textile as archive, furniture as narrative. A piece to be placed with intention and remembered with feeling. At Acanthus Home, we believe beauty is not decorative—it is devotional.

  • Color: This luxurious fabric features a rich emerald base, highlighted by subtle accents of ruby, triplite, sapphire, and aquamarine. The deep green tones create a sense of elegance and tranquility, while warm ruby and triplite add a striking contrast. Cool sapphire and aquamarine bring a touch of sophistication, blending harmoniously for a refined look.
