A curvaceous ebonised and parcel gilt 1860s slipper chair

Price: £285.00

Description: This striking 19th Century slipper chair has just come into stock from a private Surrey residence. This highly decorative chair was chosen, firstly, because of its extenuated shape and also that it retains much of its original decoration. As you can see the buttoned upholstery has been replaced, but the ebonised and parcel gilt frame has wisely been left and not embellished, leaving an appealing surface patina. The porcelain castors appear to be original and are in good useable condition. The upholstery is firm and the chair, apart from some braid needing to be replaced, is in useable condition. This bodes well if you are hoping to recover it, as I would be surprised, once the top cover has been removed, if the upholstery beneath could not be re-used with after a little dressing. An eye-catching chair.
