have ever offered for sale. There are three fully carved birds and an open
carved wreath in the crest. The sides are naturally carved branchs. The
back and seat have spectacular orginal needlepoint upholstery with birds and
trees. The birds actually have small beads for the eyes. The colors are rich
and this chair was obviously extremely valued and cared for over the last
140 years. The back is beautifully framed with a burled panel. The skirt
has burl and carving. The front legs are fluted and tapered. All the feet
end in original brass castors. A unique and gorgeous chair - a piece of
art!
