Napoleon III Folding Chair

More sculpture than furniture, this finely-carved 1860s folding chair has a gilded and gessoed wood frame, and the original cut-silk-velvet upholstery material that was woven to fit. A fine example of the offbeat, fetishistic quality that typifies the most interesting Napoleon III furniture.
