This is a 100% perfect example, every single detail is correct from top to bottom and it has been totally restored, this will be the only one you will ever see with these hand carved Claw & Ball Cabriolet legs The restoration is as follows, the chair was initially sent to my French polisher who has washed back the mahogany legs and traditionally French polished them from the ground up, it was then sent to my upholsterer who stripped the old upholstery off, he has made new templates for the fabric, kept the original padding and structure, then reupholstered the piece using Howards technique which is no piping, hand nail tacked in place and most importantly, the back cushion is stitched in situs and both cushions have light fiber fillings not feathers, this is super important as the fiber is lighter than feathers, more squishy so a lot more comfortable and it pops back up and retains its shape when you stand up, this is honestly the best and most true to the original form example of these chairs you will ever find I have one other listed under my other items which has been restored to the same standard however it has standard straight legs. They are the finest hand made in England and most famous chairs in the world, highly collectable and extremely valuable, the more beaten up and original the better This chair has all castors stamped as you can see in the picture, the inside back left leg is stamped correctly with the order number of 6252 562and the makers mark Howard & Son's LTD Berners St Dimensions Height:- 77cm Width:- 67.5cm Depth: 73cm Seat height:- 49cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point.
