AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This elegant nursing chair from the Victorian era, dated between the late 19th and early 20th century, is a piece of great character and refinement. Made of walnut wood, its frame displays a deep warmth and a rich grain that enhance the nobility of the design. The high, curved backrest, together with the generous seat, suggest a conception designed for comfort and repose, intrinsic to its original function in medical or high-end domestic settings.

The original upholstery, in a delicate beige tone with discreet floral motifs, preserves its charm intact and provides a soft texture that contrasts with the firmness of the frame. The tufted details on the backrest and the ornamental carvings on the crest and legs — Rococo-inspired — reveal the era's decorative taste, blending practicality with aesthetics.

This armchair is not only a testament to the history of functional furniture, but also a decorative piece of great value for collectors, interior designers, or lovers of antique furniture. Its condition and authenticity give it a soulful character, perfect for classic, romantic, or eclectic spaces that value beauty with history.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
