Traditional Victorian Balloon Back Side Chair, English, Circa 1850

About the Item

Fine quality traditional form solid mahogany Victorian balloon back chair with "slip in" seat, upholstered in black and maroon pin-striped fabric (see images). Nicely carved double curved back top and mid section rails, with curved sides; supported by two front cabriole legs, ending in carved scroll feet. Made in England, circa 1850. Chair is in excellent and all original condition in nice color and patina to the original surface; sturdy with no repairs. The re-upholstered seat is basically excellent and unworn. I have the identical chair listed, albeit in a different upholstered seat covering. Please see listing number LU973226122132 Dimensions: 17 1/2" wide x 20 1/2": deep x 35" high 19" seat height. Note (Free shipping to the buyer): I will pay the basic shipping fee created by First Dibs and I will incur the cost of materials and packing.

  • Mid Victorian Side Chair Finely Hand Carved with Wool Work Seat, Circa 1850
    Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
    This is a very good quality example of an English occasional side chair in the Rococo style, from the mid Victorian period, circa 1850, made from Beech. The back is a Classic balloon back shape, but with intricate cut-out and carved detail to the frame and particularly to the cross splat. This carved detail is continued on the front legs and front stretcher. The foot of the legs are splayed slightly outwards which adds to the features of this chair. Twin side stretchers give additional strength to this chair but overall this is a delicately made chair. It has a good wool-work covered seat with a rose spray design. Please note: This chair is not a strong dining room chair and is not recommended for regular use as a chair to sit on. The chair is light and would make a very pretty bedroom or hall side chair, to be used principally for display either on its own or with say teddy bears displayed on it, or for draping light...
