Early nineteenth century ebonized Sheraton–Regency “fancy” side chair, probably English, with all the grace and lightness decorators love. The arched crest rail is framed by pierced ovals and a delicate lattice splat, centered by a hand painted floral panel of yellow, coral, and blue blossoms with soft green foliage. Slender stiles are embellished with a trailing bellflower border, and the front rail carries a matching painted reserve above a gently serpentine seat line. Worn Gilt Turned front legs give the chair an elegant, airy stance and make it a beautiful accent beside a desk, chest, or end table.
The seat was originally hand caned and, in a later restoration, was thoughtfully updated with a neat sheet cane panel for strength and everyday use. On the underside, the original cane holes are still visible, along with shaped corner blocks that were added to reinforce the frame and keep the chair sound for years to come. The decoration shows honest, age softened wear and a lovely patina that only develops over two centuries of careful use. This is an endearing accent chair with both beauty and history, ready to live comfortably in a bedroom, hallway, or sitting room.
Good antique condition with expected wear to painted surfaces, having a craquelure surface with losses that are consistent with age and use. Later sheet cane seat in very good condition. Later corner blocks added to strengthen the seat frame. Sturdy for occasional seating; recommended primarily as a decorative accent.
