This antique mahogany armchair is very well designed & extremely comfortable. I think it would make a perfect desk chair. It’s in excellent condition & so is the original rush seat. If you enlarge the images & look at the side profile, you will understand why it’s so comfortable. The sloped back & back rails are all curved & well shaped. The seat too is curved. The arms, back & front legs are all very elegant. It’s a very high quality piece. I would date this chair to around the 1890-1900 period.

Pair of Antique French Gilt Wood Side Chairs
This pair of antique French gilt wood side chairs are in great shape, besides the original upholstery. They are part of a whole set being sold on this site, including a sofa & matching pair of salons. There is an image of the complete set below & they are also being shown separately on the site. I would rather sell it all together, but they are also available separately. They are all structurally sound & the gilt frames have naturally aged with the red layer underneath showing through. This all give them a great character look. The carving is exquisite too & they sit on fluted legs. I would date them to around the 1850's period, give or take 25 years.

Antique Victorian Papier Mache Side Chair Inlaid with Mother of Pearl
Antique Victorian papier mache side chair which is one of a similar pair. They are both on the site separately, but if someone wants them both together I can do a better deal. This chair does need restoration in places, so please enlarge all the images, because I can't possibly point it all out. This chair has at some point in it's life been re-enforced on the back with more wood. Maybe it was broken. Whatever happened was a long time ago, judging from the wooden repair on the back. The seat was also recovered a long time ago along with the other one, because it's the same fabric. I don't really think these chairs are for sitting on anymore, but they are extremely decorative & a fabulous example of Victorian Decorative furniture. This chair has beautiful mother of pearl inlays & other decorative features.

Antique Victorian Papier Mache Chair Inlaid with Mother of Pearl
This antique Victorian papier mache chair is one of a similar pair that I obtained from a house in Hampstead. They are different, but are the same kind of model. This one has the usual mother of pearl inlays & other decorative features. It has the classic Victorian spoon shaped back & cabriole legs. The seat was probably cane originally, but it has been upholstered a long time ago. Please enlarge all the images to see the general condition. It's by no means perfect & would need restoration in places, although it all seems to be there. We have tried to show most of the defects. If someone wants to buy the two chairs together I will do a better price.

Pair of Antique Decorated Ebonised Side Chairs
This fabulous pair of antique side chairs are ebonised with various intricate gilded decoration. They are in excellent original condition & they don't look like they have ever been touched restoration or polish wise. They are sturdy & the cane seats are also perfect. Please enlarge & brighten up all the images, because there is a lot of fine decoration on the backs & around the seats, which isn't too noticeable in the images, which are a bit on the dark side. I'm not sure of the exact age. They could be Victorian or a bit later. There is a makers or sellers name & address imprinted into the under-side of the seats. These chairs have lovely proportions with wide seats & well turned legs. The backs are decorative too with cross bars & finials on the tops.
