19th century

Sold by Culvertons

Description

This striking 19th Century slipper chair has just come into stock, after it was offered to us by the representatives of a Surrey estate. This highly decorative chair, that dates the 1860s, was chosen, firstly, because of its extenuated shape and also that it retains much of its original decoration. As you can see the buttoned upholstery has been replaced, but the ebonised and parcel gilt frame has wisely been left and not embellished, leaving an appealing surface patina. The porcelain castors appear to be original and are in good useable condition. The upholstery is firm and the chair, apart from some braid needing to be replaced can also be used in its present state if so desired. If you are looking to recover this attractive chair, I would be surprised, once the top cover has been removed, if the upholstery beneath could not be re-used, with only minimal dressing.
