Masterfully crafted in the early 20th century, this chair boasts grand, enveloping proportions and an incredibly luxurious presence.

The heavy, solid walnut frame features spectacular, rare openwork medallion carvings inside both armrests depicting a classical lute/mandolin and horn motif, highlighting its heritage as a formal salon music chair. The frame sweeps elegantly down across an intricately pierced lower apron and rests on heavily carved, regal lion's paw/hairy paw feet.

The high barrel-back features gorgeous, deep vertical channel tufting that cradles you in total comfort. It comes upholstered in an incredibly vibrant, plush deep ruby red / burgundy velvet fabric that extends fully around the back of the piece, allowing it to be floated beautifully in the middle of a room. The upholstery is finished with a coordinating classical braided serpentine gimp trim.

Built to the highest historic standards, the underside features traditional heavy metal coil spring construction with webbing straps, offering a substantial weight, sturdy structure, and a deep level of comfort that completely outclasses modern replicas. See less
