Fabulous Antique Victorian mahogany armchair with hand
carved figural lion heads & claw feet. Vintage golden yellow velvet
upholstery with gimp trim, sprung with Jute webbing, & coil springs. Beautiful
condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs
of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, there
is a bit of missing veneer on the tip of the left arm & small spots of
missing carving, which we left alone, and the upholstery has been
professionally cleaned; however, there are stubborn stains, and most will want
to reupholster, we have priced accordingly. Please see photos and zoom in for
details as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any
imperfections. Circa, Late 1800’s.
This Antique armchair is FIERCELY
FABULOUS!!! This is a phenomenal Antique armchair comprised of an exquisite
mahogany frame bearing a fearless pair of hand carved figural lion heads down
both arm fronts and epochal hand carved lion claw feet. It has a substantial size
and wears a gorgeous golden yellow velvet fabric with gimp trim and a button
tufted seat back and although we believe it has been reupholstered in its
life…it was very early on. The fabric is definitely vintage and although it has
been professionally cleaned, it has a few stubborn stains, and some may wish to
reupholster. But think of the fabulous fabric options that would only
complement the beauty of this masterpiece!! Limitless possibilities!!! And the
velvet on the back is in awesome condition so maybe just upholster the seat in
a great contrast fabric. The under seat is sprung with Jute webbing and has
coil springs creating supreme comfort. It has an impressive throne-like
presence and a Victorian style sure to make a bold statement in any room you
choose. In a corner of your bedroom, in the study facing the fireplace, or in
your sitting room next to a marvelous accent table. Lions have been associated
with royalty and valor for centuries… A symbol of strength and courage… King of
the jungle and held in awe by humankind. What an incredible aura to bring into
your home! Do it, make it YOURS!!!
