A matched pair of American/Victorian Renaissance Revival black walnut parlor chairs, circa 1870–1875, attributed to New Orleans furniture purveyor Prudent Mallard.
Showcasing the high craftsmanship of late 19th century parlor society, each chair features beautifully carved cabochon crest with the distinctive “Mallard egg” motif -- flanked by stylized leaf carvings and incised scrollwork. The front legs reveal the emerging Eastlake influence, featuring square corner blocks with classic “X and button” design transitioning into baluster turned tapered legs with original swivel casters that provide both authenticity and functionality.
Sought after for their compact footprint (19"W x 19"D), this matched pair brings gravitas and offers an exceptional opportunity for bespoke high-end textiles to provide authentic architectural grounding for today’s contemporary interiors.
