19th Century Continental Armchair

Title: 19th Century Continental Carved Armchair Item Code: S27-799A A highly decorative 19th Century Continental armchair, richly carved throughout and retaining its original upholstered form. The chair features an impressive high, shaped back with sweeping wings, centred by a deeply carved crest rail adorned with scrolling foliate detail and oval reserves. The out-scrolled arms terminate in bold carved volutes and flow into the shaped seat rail, which is further enriched with carved ornament. Upholstered throughout in a pale blue patterned fabric, which shows signs of wear commensurate with age but remains serviceable, the generous seat and enveloping back offer both comfort and strong visual impact. The chair stands on elegantly shaped cabriole legs, completing this striking and well-proportioned piece. An ideal statement chair for a drawing room, hall or bedroom setting.
