A striking Victorian mahogany armchair, dating from the second half of the 19th century and displaying the elegant proportions and decorative carving associated with quality Victorian seating.
The tall buttoned back is surrounded by a shaped mahogany frame with a carved crest, while the sweeping arms terminate in finely carved scrolling show-wood supports. The generous upholstered seat is raised on turned front legs retaining castors.
The warm mahogany frame has developed an attractive aged colour and patina, while the chair's generous proportions make it both decorative and practical.

Overall depth: 85 cm
Arm height: 62 cm
Seat height: 40 cm
Seat width: 43 cm
Seat depth: 50 cm
Condition:
Good antique condition overall with age-related marks and wear. The upholstery shows some marks from use and there is wear to the decorative braiding around the right arm, as shown in the photographs. The mahogany frame has the expected small knocks and marks acquired over more than a century of use.
We particularly love the sweeping mahogany frame and carved scrollwork around the arms. It’s a beautifully proportioned Victorian chair with real presence, and the aged finish gives it exactly the character we look for in an antique piece.
