RARE ANTIQUE THONET STYLE FRENCH BAMBOO STEEL BASE PORTERS WiNGBACK ARMCHAIR

About the Item

Royal House Antiques Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this super rare, highly collectable, fully sized Thonet Bamboo Porters wingback armchair with steel weighted base frame Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote, please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price. A very good looking and decorative armchair, you will never see another again as this would have been custom commissioned, it came from Lyon France, I personally bought and collected it. Normally a frame as tall as this made from bentwood bamboo would be to light to stay upright however the genius who made it has counter acted this issue by hand forging a steel base for the weight Condition wise is perfect for the era, it has original paint to the steel and the finish has aged wonderfully Dimensions Height:- 148.5cm Width:- 71cm Depth:- 65cm Seat height:- 37.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask. Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid. Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular 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.
