The shaped crest rail features an elegant neoclassical urn overflowing with fruit and foliage, framed by scrolling acanthus ornament. The light contrasting inlay—likely bone—is individually cut and delicately engraved with fine shading to create depth and modeling, demonstrating the refined craftsmanship characteristic of the Victorian neoclassical revival. The architectural frame is executed in beautifully figured rosewood, with inlaid panels continuing to the arms. The chair retains its stately silhouette, with gently scrolled arm supports and tapered legs, combining decorative presence with balanced proportion. The upholstered seat and back are finished in a neutral patterned textile that complements the warmth of the rosewood while allowing the inlay work to remain the focal point. A distinguished example of late Victorian decorative arts, suitable for a study, drawing room, or formal interior. See less
