Description from the seller
Ancient carved wooden chair with caning – Neo-Renaissance style – Late 19th century
Description
Elegant antique chair in carved wood, with a natural caned seat and a particularly decorative high back.
The backrest features a nice joinery work with small turned columns, slightly curved crossbars, and carved motifs.
The uprights are also elaborately worked, while the front legs are turned and fluted, adding lots of character to the whole.
The caned seat harmoniously contrasts with the dark brown hue and the warm patina of the wood.
This chair testifies to the historicist taste of the late 19th century, with neo-Renaissance inspiration. It can be used as a decorative chair as well as a focal piece in a classic, vintage, or eclectic interior.
The chair is in very good overall condition considering its age.
It naturally shows some small marks, signs, and variations in patina related to time and use, visible in the photographs.
The caning presents a nice overall appearance.
