What a chair! Have you ever seen a more interesting a decorative example! It is Aesthetic Movement with an ornately carved, ebonised frame, the arms are especially decorative and they are each inset with original, circa 1820 Grand Tour Italian plaques. The fabric is again period dating to the early Victorian era, this is a museum quality armchair and the only one of its kind I have ever seen

Condition wise is unrestored, as you can see the plaques have breaks and various losses, the fabric is worn and has a small patch missing at the front along with other areas of patina, it really doesn’t matter though, it is original and in any condition it is highly collectable
