About the Item

This chair is so incredibly smart and chic that you will wish you had another,. The chair has a "second skin," in a tweed upholstery that someone was reluctant to remove. The cherub upholstery on the armrest of the chair is actually a shawl or drape for the for the chair. It is Victorian, carved and turned walnut corner armchair, that is English from the late 19th Century according to our appraiser. The seat is triangular with a rounded front rail, that is backed by two low arms with raised upholstery. The curved seat rail has a long fringe trim, all raised on four cylindrical bead turned legs on casters. The detachable fabric drape or shawl is priceless. Appraisers beleive this could have possibly been half of a two-piece tete-a-tete chair at some point. It measures 29 inches tall, 22 inches wide, and 22 inches deep. The chair is sturdy and the wheels are in good condition for a piece from the late 1800s. The finish to the walnut has scuffs and marks. But it is still quite charming and a nice place to sit or curl up in comfort, maybe with a book in the corner of a room to watch others.
