Victorian Hand Carved Walnut, Show Framed High Back Armchair in Colefax Fowler

About the Item

We are delighted to offer this lovely Colexfax & Fowler floral upholstered Victorian armchair with hand carved show frame A very good looking and well made chair, this is what's called a show frame, the idea being was a cabinet maker would take a very ornately carved piece like this to an exhibition to show off his skill, clients would then place orders with elements of that chair or in some cases exact copies of it. The frame is a rich warm walnut with a wonderful grain and patina The upholstery is in good vintage order, its from Colefax & Fowler and is very decorative, it may have the odd little mark here or there but mostly its in fine order. The frame has been checked secured, cleaned waxed and polished from top to bottom Dimensions Height:- 116cm Width:- 64.5cm Depth:- 72cm Seat height:- 42.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, This item is available for collection from our Pulborough warehouses RH20 1DF. CONDITION Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description pertaining to the condition. Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of creasing and wear, we recommend annual waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
