This is an exceptional quality example of a classic Chippendale open armchair; scaled to suit a young child. In fantastic condition with every hallmark of Chippendale:Ball-and-claw feet, cabriole legs, woven upholstery, mahogany frame, an ornate back splat, pointed arches & yoked top railing. The removable seat was reupholstered 35 yrs ago, in the elegant, abstract feather motif, woven luxury fabric depicted. This is a fantastic chair.
Purchased as 'very vintage' over 50 yrs ago, we have since heard it referred to as a 'salesman's sample', but cannot confirm that. The quality of form, materials, craftsmanship and finish mirror that of full sized examples, so perhaps that led to describe it as a 'sample'.. Impeccable of form & of sound, functional stability, this was clearly not made as a doll's chair-or produced for solely illustrative or decorative purpose.
