Regency Mahogany Library Bergère Armchair

19th century

Sold by The Antique Furniture Company

Description

A fine late Regency/William IV mahogany and cane-filled library armchair. With scroll arms and a serpentine fronted seat it stands on tulip carved legs to the front and square tapering outsplayed legs to the rear all raised on castors.

It is in good sturdy condition with no breaks and a good original colour and patina to the timber, some scuffs to the side of the front corners above the legs, the cane work has been redone so is in very good condition, would have originally had a squab cushion. The castors appear to have been on for a long time but are not matching. There is a slight gap to the sides where the top rail meets the arms.

Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
