Carved Victorian Child’s Highchair

This is an unusual mid 19th Century (c.1850) Victorian antique carved oak and upholstered child’s high chair, the shaped and pierced cresting rail which follows in the form of a cartouche with needle point upholstery in the centre, with curvaceous arms with pierced carving underneath, with a drop in upholstered needle point seat, and a small rod for holding the child in place. The back legs are slightly out swept, with bobbin front legs and a wonderful carved and pierced frieze in the centre. The chair is secured to the base by a metal and wooden rod, the base with similar legs and shaped stretcher at the front.
