Folding chair - Wood - antique folding chair

19th-century antique folding chair, Napoleonic III period, finely decorated in an elegant black finish with motifs typical of the era. The overall condition is good, considering its age: the frame is sturdy and the upholstery fabric is well preserved, an uncommon feature for 19th-century folding furnishings.

Rare example of a nineteenth-century folding chair, a precursor to modern models, conceived to combine functionality and aesthetics. Its compact dimensions make it ideal for corners of the home, paired with guéridon or tea tables. A collectible item for display, not recommended for everyday use.

On one side there is the mark “Breveté S.G.D.G. – En France et à l’étranger.” The inscription Sans Garantie du Gouvernement identifies a French patent introduced by the law of July 5, 1844 (art. 33), which exempted the State from liability for the functioning and originality of the invention. This mention, arising from a decree by Napoleon Bonaparte of 1800, was used until 1968.

A historic piece of furniture of great charm, capable of harmonizing with both traditional and contemporary interiors, adding an exclusive and refined touch to any space.
