Description

An attractive upholstered chair. We date the chair to the mid 19th century.

The chair sits on two decoratively carved cabriole legs at the front and two splayed legs at the rear, all on their original gilted castors.

The high backrest has a lovely carved frame with carvings below the seat pad and on the legs. The backrest and seat pad are upholstered with a floral tapestry in olive, cream, blue and reds.

The chair has an overall height of 49" (125cm), an overall width of 22.5" (57cm), an overall depth of 26" (66cm), a backrest height of 34" (87cm), a seat height of 15" (38cm), a seat width of 21" (54cm) and a seat depth of 20" (51cm).

The chair remains in a good usable condition with surface marks commensurate with age and usage. The material has some wear primarily to the seat pad which includes a small rip at the front and the rear of the chair has a rip to the fabric at the bottom as can be seen in the pictures.

This remains a very stylish and elegant armchair. It is very comfortable to sit on and will continue to provide rest and relaxation for many years to come.

FAQs

Victorian seating spans from the early 19th century through the late Queen Victoria reign, characteristically featuring ornate carvings, robust dark hardwoods like rosewood or walnut, and heavily upholstered elements reflecting various revival movements such as Gothic, Rococo, and Elizabethan.

Authentic period pieces were crafted using dense hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, featuring hand-carved details, traditional joinery like mortise and tenon, and horsehair or wool stuffing beneath complex textile upholstery secured with hand-tacked webbing.

Authentication involves examining the timber grain, checking for hand-cut screws or traditional handmade joinery marks, inspecting the interior stuffing materials for age, and verifying that the wood shows genuine patina, wear patterns, and oxidisation consistent with nineteenth-century craftsmanship.

Such pieces function effectively as statement accent seats in contemporary rooms, contrasting clean modern architectural lines with rich textures and historical craftsmanship, or complementing eclectic and maximalist schemes through their ornate wooden silhouettes.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting and textile fading, dusting the carved rosewood regularly with a soft dry cloth, and consulting professional conservators for cleaning antique fabrics.
