AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This armchair dates back to the Victorian period (circa 1860), a pivotal transitional phase in which the Aesthetic Movement was born.
Historical Characteristics of the Model (1860)
Ebony Wood Finish: The darkened finish imitating ebony became famous starting in the 1860s as a symbol of rupture from traditional solid mahogany furniture.
The low seating, free of bulky armrests and with a rounded upholstered shape, is typical of conversation chairs designed for the drawing rooms of the upper middle class of the era. Backrest Design: The turned columns connecting the seat to the curved backrest fuse revivalist style with the geometric lightness that foreshadowed modern design.
This chair is an Edwardian-style armchair in ebonized wood with period gilt upholstery and springs. Similar in characteristics to the Victorian or Edwardian aesthetic movement, dating to the late 19th
