Description:
Here is a superb quality antique English early Victorian carved mahogany chaise longue, circa 1850, which has been newly upholstered, and is in excellent condition. The chaise features (when facing) a right-hand raised sweeping upholstered arm. The carved & moulded back frame, which is also upholstered, sweeps down and terminates on the base of the seat, with a ruched and piped bolster cushion. The chaise boasts a scroll shaped arm, which displays foliate carvings at the base and scroll end. The arm and backrest are solid in joint. The chaise has been newly upholstered in top quality cream colour structured silk and cotton damask floral upholstery, finished with matching braiding. The stuff over seat has been re-upholstered in the traditional manner with horsehair filing. The seat is therefore heavy, firm and very good quality. The underside of the chaise has been traditionally upholstered in hessian backing material. The chaise stands on baluster turned legs and features solid brass cups and castors.

Condition Report:
The chaise longue frame is in excellent condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the mahogany frame, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. There are no missing carvings or mouldings to the frame. The chaise has been newly upholstered in top quality cream structured silk and cotton floral upholstery, finished with matching braiding. The stuff over seat has been upholstered in the traditional matter with horsehair filling; it is therefore heavy, firm and very good quality. The underside of the chaise has been traditionally upholstered in hessian backing material. Therefore, the upholstery is in excellent and clean condition. The chaise stands on its original solid mahogany legs and solid brass castors. As it boasts the original polish it has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. The chaise longue is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
