| This is a very rare early Victorian wicker arm chair that has an exotic Oriental look with elaborate fancy work throughout. The crest has fancy reed-work and a cushioned head rest. Below that, a panel of wood turned spools and reed circles, followed by a back cushion and then a panel of latticework followed by a panel of wood turned spools and circles. This patten is repeated on the sides along with other fancy reed-work. The arms begin and end with curlicues. They are made up of shapely panels of latticework with cane wrapping. Latticework panels on the sides and front skirtings. Shapely curlicue design ends off the front skirting. Cane wrapping throughout. This chair has a set in upholstered seat that can be removed for upholstering, along with the 2 upholstered back panels. This chair would look stunning with an Oriental fabric.The legs are splayed with reed wrapped balls ending in wood caps. This is a large and substantial Victorian wicker arm chair. |
