Know before you buy
The chair has been recently reupholstered, meaning the fabric is fresh, clean, and free from the wear typically associated with antique pieces.
The chair features enclosed upholstered sides and a standard seat height of 20 inches, providing a firm, supportive sit that is comfortable for reading or conversation.
As a late 19th-century piece, the wooden frame retains its authentic historical character, including the original hand-carved rosettes and fluted leg detailing, which are preserved alongside the modern upholstery.
With a width of 29 inches and a depth of 36 inches, this chair has a relatively compact footprint, making it an excellent choice for an accent chair in a bedroom, study, or smaller living area.
To preserve the wood, we recommend dusting the frame with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners. The upholstery can be maintained with regular light vacuuming using an upholstery attachment.
