English 1920s Brownish Green Leather Chair with Mahogany Cabriole Legs
Located in Atlanta, GA
English brownish green leather chair circa 1900-1920, with carved mahogany legs. Step back in time with this English brownish green leather chair, hailing from the early 20th century (circa 1900-1920). This sophisticated piece is a wonderful addition to a home office or a gentleman's library, with its stately presence and historical charm making it a focal point in any room. The chair is generously adorned with time-honored features that echo the workmanship of English artisans. Crafted with a mahogany frame, the chair showcases stunning carved cabriole legs at the front, balanced by slightly saber-shaped legs at the back. The seat itself is upholstered in a rich, brownish green leather, which has weathered gracefully over time. Some distressing on the leather contributes to the antique aesthetic, narrating a story of years of use and lending a distinguished touch to your decor. A brass nailhead trim intricately lines the periphery of the upholstery, adding a contrasting metallic edge that further accentuates its elegance. This English leather chair...
