Made in Ireland in the Chippendale Style, of Mahogany, circa 1800-20, but repaired in the early 20th Century and re-upholstered in the late 20th Century.

It has the classically Irish Georgian Scallop Shell on each knee with turned and decorated acanthus ball feet.

Beautiful original patina to the wood through age and beautiful detail to the carving. Wooden peg construction to the legs but more recent support wedges with flat head screws from the early 20C.

The more recent red leather upholstery is affixed with nails underneath and fresh banding supports and upholstery nails on the sides at the legs. less
