This is an 18th-century antique corner chair originally purposed as a commode chair. The patina on this piece is extraordinary and the walnut frame has aged gracefully. Handcrafted, the raised back on a shaped armrest is supported by turned columns and solid vase-shaped back slats. The seat is newly reupholstered in vintage French cotton ticking and the original opening left in tact for historical and conversation purposes. Never more one of a kind than this.

While the upholstered seat is heavy and stays in place, we considered attaching a heavy velcro to the underside but decided to leave that to the buyer. The package of velcro will be included for your consideration.

An Extremely Attractive And Very Good Quality Mid 18th Century, George II Period, Walnut Corner Armchair, Having Extremely Well Figured Top Rail, Over Attractive Pierced Back Splats And Superbly Carved Shaped Scrolling Arms, Over Drop In Seat Raised On Elegant Cabriole Leg To Front And And Square Legs To Back And Sides. Corner chairs, sometimes known as a roundabout chairs, were specifically designed to fit snugly into the corner of a room, making extremely efficient use of space, as well as serving a decorative purpose as they were often adorned with rich carving and ornate detailing.
