AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant solid wood side chair, characterized by a richly turned structure and carved decoration on the upper crest.
The chair features a tall back with turned uprights ending in gilded spherical terminals, three curved stretchers, and a shaped crest with a carved vegetal ornamental motif, also gilded. The legs and lower stretchers are turned, giving the whole pieces a particularly decorative appearance.
The structure presents a beautiful warm tone and a natural patina that enhances the grain of the wood, probably beech. The seat is upholstered and covered with a blue damask fabric decorated with floral motifs and medallions, completed by coordinated piping.
For construction and decorative characteristics, the piece can be traced to the taste between the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The precise workmanship and dating are not documented and are therefore proposed cautiously.
Conditions: excellent vintage/antique condition, with normal signs of use compatible with age. It is recommended to carefully observe all photographs, which are an integral part of the description.
Provenance: private collection.
Materials: wood, fabric, padding.
Period: late 19th – early 20th century, to be verified.
