Description:

This Art Nouveau chair is constructed of solid mahogany. The armchair boasts a shaped top rail, interspersed with elegant scroll carvings, decorated with boxwood & tulipwood marquetry panel, above a pierced fan-back central splat, encompassed in a floral shaped frame, which is decorated with boxwood inlay and further scroll carvings. Supported by shapped supports to the sides, the back unites with crook shaped arms, raised on shaped supports, which secure the back to the seat frame. The shaped seat frame is decorated with boxwood string and ebony inlay across the front. The seat has been newly upholstered and re-webbed to a professional standard, in top quality and hard wearing aqua blue colour structured cotton polyester mix; finished with matching braiding. If you do not like the upholstery colour, we can re-cover in a fabric of your choice. The seat is firm – you do not sink into it – but is very comfortable to sit on. The chair frame has been cleaned and French polished, by hand, to a professional standard in our workshop. The chair is raised on cabriole legs, and shaped legs to the rear.

Condition Report:

The Art Nouveau chair is in excellent condition having just been professionally re-upholstered. Therefore, the upholstery is new and free from damage, rips, and marks or fading. If you do not like the upholstery colour, we can re-cover in a fabric of your choice. The chair frame has been cleaned and French polished, by hand, to a professional standard in our workshop, therefore the colour and patination 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 is no missing marquetry, inlay or fretwork to the back. The frames and arms are solid and in excellent condition with no loose joints. The armchairs sit firm on the ground and do not wobble.
