Appraisal for $2500 from 10/2005 in pictures .

The shaped arms and open back with decorative splat reflect the refined proportions characteristic of Neoclassical design.
The original painted finish shows a softly aged patina, adding warmth and character without overwhelming the form. This chair works beautifully as an accent piece in a living room, bedroom, or entryway, and pairs well with both traditional and layered, eclectic interiors.
A sculptural and decorative example of 19th-century Italian craftsmanship.

I purchased this chair in 2003 from Ann Koerner Antiques in New Orleans, LA.
This chair is an antique with the expected wear and tear, no major damages to report. The seat on this chair has been removed. See less
