A very rare Irish 19th Century well figured mahogany armchair attributed to 'Butlers' of Dublin.

Raised above a drop-in padded seat upholstered in a rich hand woven tapestry with a fabulous cartouche to the central reserve depicting a landscape scene of a tree with birds and flowers set within a gorgeous foliate and flower head border in delicate hues of green, golds, pinks, blues and reds against a deep burgundy ground. The simple apron is supported on outswept legs to the rear and elegantly tapering cabriole legs to the fore with acanthus leaves on knee, terminating on a finely carved claw and ball foot.
