Antique Victorian Carved Fretwork Velvet Buttoned Back Walnut Nursing Chair 1860

19th century
Description

Antique Victorian Walnut Buttoned Back Nursing Chair.

A comfortable but decorative chair.

We are offering for sale this lovely condition early Victorian (circa 1860) classically carved, fretwork buttoned back nursing chair made from the finest solid Walnut. This chair features shaped and foliage carved scrolled back supports finishing to a serpentine carved front rail which stands on carved cabriole front legs finishing to its original solid polished brass castors with the typical early Victorian white porcelain wheels.

This chair has been fairly recently re-upholstered to a high standard in a deep plush red velvet red material which is in a fantastic clean condition with virtually no wear, ideal for any period property. We have just vacuum cleaned the upholstery and carefully waxed the frame. The material could be left as it because of its fantastic used condition or it could be fully upholstered to your taste. We would be able to quote for re-upholstering this chair for you if you enquire.

This item is structurally solid, in good order with no loose joints. The material and inner padding seems to be in very good condition. The springs do not clunk and the chair is very comfortable to sit in.

Please note this item is in very good condition for its age but does have signs of wear and tear, however, we feel that these points are which adds to part of its charm and character with it being antique.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Nursing chairs emerged during the nineteenth century as low-seated, armless chairs specifically designed to accommodate women wearing heavy Victorian skirts while nursing infants or dressing.

Frame construction typically utilised solid hardwoods such as walnut, rosewood, or mahogany, complemented by deep-buttoned textile upholstery like velvet or wool, and brass ceramic castors.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved decorative elements such as pierced fretwork, traditional hand-tied coil springs, period joinery methods, and original ceramic or brass wheel castors.

These low-profile chairs serve as accent seating in master bedrooms, dressing rooms, or alongside a fireplace hearth, adding rich texture and historical contrast to modern schemes.

Clean velvet using a soft fabric brush following the direction of the pile, and nourish walnut woodwork with natural beeswax while keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
