Wessex House Antiques has been trading for over 30 years and has developed an enviable reputation for selling high quality genuine antiques at honest prices to buyers across the UK and internationally.
In 2005 I was invited to write the Shire Guide to Staffordshire Figures, recently reprinted, a signed copy of which will be included with the purchase of any Staffordshire or Prattware figure. Also available by special request from the author at £5.99, including postage.

Description
This original Louis Xv chair is beautifully carved with intricate designs on its wooden frame which has been gilded in gold leaf. The chair was professionally reupholstered in the 1950s with a fine quality watered lilac fabric. It has a traditional and hard wearing horsehair- stuffed seat and back.
Giltwood furniture was extremely popular for fine houses in the late C18th and this excellent example comes from a large country estate in Dorset. It is a very handsome antique of high quality.
We welcome any questions or enquiries regarding the Louis Xv armchair. Please message us and we will be delighted to help.
