Done in old sculpted velvet of classic design that I urge you must be retained, in spite of some water staining at the left side, apparently from an open window. A timeless beauty of elegant proportion.

This model follows so many of the classic Queen Anne style features, the shaped wings, the vertically rolled arms, and the balloon seat. The legs are really outstanding with well carved shells at each knee above trailing scrolls and well carved ball and claw feet. This chair is exceptional in its old color and finish which we seldom find. Various minor restorations reflect 300 years of use, wear, and comfort. Author Wallace Nutting used to describe wing chairs as being like old square rigger ships with wood frames, the creaked as they moved. Buy this only if you love old fabrics and the sounds of a period chair i. e. there is looseness to the frame. less
