The Juniper Crest

The Juniper Crest is a late 19th-century Eastlake-style armchair, produced during a period when domestic furniture was governed by architectural clarity and visible construction. The Eastlake movement articulated ornament through structure, favoring linear geometry and visible construction over surface-applied ornament.

The solid wood frame is articulated with hand-carved linear motifs, emphasizing rhythm and repetition. A defined crest rail, squared arms, and upright stance give the chair an architectural presence. Together, these elements produce a form governed by proportion and restraint.

Upholstered in a deep green linen blend, the seat and back present a muted, tactile surface that softens the frame without obscuring it. Brass nailhead trim traces the upholstery with precision, reinforcing the chair’s geometry with a restrained metallic accent.

The frame has been refinished to preserve its carved detail and structural integrity. Upholstery has been fully replaced using traditional methods, with new padding and internal support to ensure continued use while maintaining period-appropriate form.

The chair’s measured scale and upright posture allow it to function as a singular seated form within an interior organized by structure and material presence.

Available through private acquisition.
