Antique French Walnut Bobbin-turned Nursing Chair

Antique French Walnut Bobbin-Turned Nursing Chair or Side Chair (19th century)

The construction of this characterful and unusual French nursing chair is mainly lathe-turned. This chair features a very tall back.

Presented in very good condition with only very minor age-related marks, it would benefit from re-webbing to the seat pad.

It comes with a Victorian hand-embroidered loose seat tapestry pad depicting birds and flora.

We specialise in French antiques and work with interior designers, trade and retail in the UK and worldwide. Every piece is examined and restored when necessary to a very high standard by a professionally trained restorer with years of experience.

We have an online store and viewing in person is unfortunately not an option. If you wish to return an item please send us written notification within 48 hours of receipt. Returns can be made up to 14 days after delivery. The item must be returned in the same condition as it left and a full refund less any delivery and return delivery costs incurred by us will be issued.

Packing and Delivery

We ship larger pieces, such as tables and washstands, with specialised couriers and smaller pieces, such as sculptures and lights, with FedEx or the post.

We take great care to ensure that our pieces are well-packaged for transport. Deliveries take on average between 1 week and 3 weeks (possibly longer, depending on your location, times of year and any other factors).

We have stock in Kent and France and can provide quotes to deliver from both stores.
