Description:
Here is a fine quality antique English early Victorian solid rosewood chaise longue, circa 1850, which is being sold for re-upholstery, in excellent original condition. The chaise features (when facing) a finely carved scroll end left hand arm, below an upholstered arm, with a rising deep buttoned back, which downward sweeping back, terminating against a finely carved rosewood frame end. The chaise stands on superbly carved scroll legs and castors, decorated with floral and shell carved detail, supplemented by a decorative central carved floral cartouche, along a natural moulding around the chaise frame. Upholstered in a grey dralon upholstery, with a stuff-over sprung seat, the chaise would benefit from being re-upholstered as the existing upholstery is tired, therefore it would make an ideal re-upholstery project. The underside of the chaise has been traditionally upholstered in hessian backing material and features the two original steel structural support bars.
This chaise frame features a rich dark brown mahogany colour. It has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. It is impossible to re-create this colour if it has been re-polished.
This item would look superb in a variety of rooms, especially the living room or bedroom. The item would certainly grace any home or office and is a great investment, as it is extremely functional.
