Description
Antique Victorian or possibly Georgian wing back armchair with scrolled arms and tapered mahogany legs. Upholstered in the last 20 years or so in a floral Elizabethan style fabric. This was probably made in the early 1800s though I freely admit it might be a later version (though still 1800s). It's got the styling to the arms and wings and the simple legs seem Georgian to me. A great shaped little arm chair in any case. A very pleasing and usable chair for a not unreasonable price, to reflect the condition, described below.

condition
Condition is fair structurally: while it's solid enough, there's a pretty horrid repair to the front left leg; it's been braced with L-brackets and not even with old screws (see pics). Still the effect is good enough; it's surprisingly sound: just a little bit of movement there, not wobbly. It can be repaired properly but it would need a lot of the upholstery removed in that area. There's some old repairs to the back legs, much more sympathetically done. The stuffing seems quite firm; seems like it was completely re upholstered, not just recovered, so it's still fairly pert and not saggy. Cosmetically there are various scuffs and scrapes to the wooden legs and some minor fraying on the fabric on one arm; we've cleaned the upholstery and it's not too bad; some slight marking near the edges but not much.
