Yes many. Many conventional leftists are like this, but also lots of Catholics (Chesterton, Belloc, Dorothy Day, Pope Benedict XVI) etc.
The "critical theorist deconstructionist postmodernists" that get such a bad rep were generally extremely indebted to and respectful of the Western canon - Derrida, Deleuze, Adorno, Foucault etc.
Plus American writers like Daniel Bell (who described himself as a "socialist in economics, a liberal in politics, and a conservative in morals.") and Christopher Lasch.
Communitarian philosophers like Alasdair Macintyre.
Proudhon, too, described himself as a "revolutionary who is profoundly conservative."
Ernst Junger was for a while associated with the ARPLAN alongside George Lukacs, and embraced a type of Stirnerian anarchism.
And of course the national syndicalists, the Cercle Proudhon, the Fascists - Sorel, Valois, Gentile, de Man, Rochelle. Though I would describe their project as violently radical and modernising, which might not be what you're looking for.

radicalism is hard to categorise alongside contemporary, extremely localised definitions of left and right. elides bourgeois stereotypes and dichotomies.
