An exceptional and rare specimen of a 19th-century English porter's chair, crafted during the Late Georgian period, circa 1840. Originally used to shelter doormen from drafts while awaiting guests in grand entry halls, this commanding dome-back chair has been masterfully upholstered in its original deep olive-green tufted leather. The hand-tufted upholstery curves seamlessly into the tall, arched back and sides, offering an enveloping sense of privacy and comfort.
The chair features a solid wooden frame with paneled arms and a unique hidden cabinet at the base, concealed behind a pair of paneled doors for discreet storage. Antique brass nailhead trim elegantly outlines the silhouette, adding richness and texture to the leather. The back of the chair is fully upholstered in patinated leather, stitched in curved panels that follow the dome's contours.
A rare and dramatic statement piece that brings warmth, history, and architectural presence to any interior!
