A Mid-19th Century Carved Mahogany Desk Chair
Constructed from solid carved mahogany, the chair standing on confidently lobed baluster front legs, with splayed legs to the rear, all with porcelain castors; the horseshoe-shaped back with pierced scrolls and a buttoned red leather upholstery matching the seat.

This chair is nearly identical to the so-called "Charles Dickens Chair" (A9979) at the Museum of London, sharing many carved features.
