Description:
Here is a fine quality antique English Victorian mahogany occasional / nursing armchair, with small proportions, circa 1890, in excellent condition. The armchair boasts a deep buttoned shaped back, united by splayed wraparound arms. The armchair features a sprung stuff over seat. The chair sits on ring turned beech legs to the front, with splayed legs to the rear. All four legs terminate on the original brass & mug castors. The chair has been re-upholstered at some point in the recent past, in cream white chenille upholstery, finished with piping to the arms, braiding to the base, along with traditional hessian backing to the underside. The seat incorporates a sprung base, which is firm but extremely comfortable to sit on. This occasional armchair would look superb in a variety of rooms from the bedroom, nursery living room, hallway or landing. This item would certainly grace any home and is a great investment as it is extremely functional. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
The chair features a rich brown colour to the original beech legs. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
