Description: Rosewood Rococo Victorian armchair made by John Henry Belter.
It features typical Belter "C" scrolls in the back with a lovely floral
crest. There are detailed floral and grape carvings under the arms, skirt
and cabriole front legs. The chair sits on the original brass castors. The
fabric is old. There are some very minor blisters in the top layer of
laminate on the back of the chair. I could not find this pattern
referenced. It is somewhere between the more common Rosalie and Henry Clay
patterns by Belter. This is a solid attractive armchair by the foremost
furniture maker of the period!
