Description from the seller
ANTIQUE CARVED VICTORIAN OXBLOOD LEATHER BURGERMEISTER CHAIR 17TH CENTURY DESIGN
English mayor’s chair – richly carved wood and burgundy leather – 19th century, based on a 17th-century design
An imposing mayor’s chair, presumably English and made in the 19th century after an earlier, 17th-century model. A particularly decorative chair with the stately presence and rich finish that make this type so appealing.
The enclosing back is adorned with three openwork floral medallions, turned spindles and elegantly carved leaf motifs. The carving continues along the seat rail and down to the six curved legs with sturdy claw feet.
Burgundy leather, finished with brass-colored decorative studs, creates a beautiful contrast with the warm, dark brown wood. The patina and visible signs of use give the chair a well-worn character.
A desirable piece of furniture for lovers of exclusive interiors, with strong decorative appeal. An eye-catching feature in a library, classic study or prestigious reception hall.
Origin: presumably England.
Date: presumably 19th century, based on a 17th-century model.
Condition: signs of use and wear to the wood and leather, including scratches on the seat. See the original photos for details and condition.
