About the Item

This graceful 19th-century Victorian antique chair is full of stunning decorative details and features a classic spoon-shaped backrest. This highly original English Victorian chair has a wooden frame with a papier-mâché back. With its genuine mother-of-pearl inlays and elegant design, it is an absolute eye-catcher in both classic and modern interiors, adding a touch of elegance to any chosen space. During the Victorian era, furniture in this style was primarily purchased by the very wealthy as a way to showcase their affluence and worldly taste.
