Attractive Antique Victorian Upholstered Mahogany Fireside Nursing Chair

An attractive Victorian mahogany nursing chair. We date this chair to the late 19th century.

The chair sits on two short turned legs at the front and two short backward curved square section legs at the rear, all above their original ceramic castors.

The seat base has been well padded and sprung.

The top of the backrest has a very ornate carved design.

The chair has an overall height of 43.5″ (111cm), an overall width of 20″ (51cm), an overall depth of 22″ (56cm), a backrest height of 28″ (71cm), a seat height of 15″ (38cm) and a seat depth of 19″ (49cm).

The chair is upholstered in a needlepoint decorated torquoise material (the pictures are showing it to be more blue than it actually is). The material has a fair bit of wear with some tears across the front edges. An amount of the needlework is missing, primarily to the front edge of the seat pad.

This remains a very stylish and elegant Victorian chair. It is very comfortable and supportive to sit on and will continue to provide rest and relaxation for many years to come.
