Victorian-era style Wooden Chair with Armrest

$20.00

This is a late 19th to early 20th-century Victorian-era style wooden chair, likely influenced by the Eastlake and American pressed-back styles. It features a combination of ladder-back and turned spindle elements, making it both decorative and functional.

Notable Features & Style:

  • Carved crest rail: The top rail is adorned with intricate linear carvings, a hallmark of the Eastlake movement, which favored geometric and incised designs over elaborate Rococo curves.

  • Ladder-back structure: Unlike traditional spindle-back chairs, this one has three horizontal slats, giving it a ladder-back appearance, a style known for its sturdy, rustic appeal.

  • Scrolled arms with cut-out details: The curved, openwork arms add a decorative touch, reflecting a mix of Victorian craftsmanship and folk influences.

  • Cane seat: The woven cane seat was a popular feature in chairs from this era, known for its durability and breathability.

  • Turned legs and stretchers: The front legs and stretchers (horizontal supports) are turned and spindle-shaped, a common feature in Victorian farmhouse furniture.

  • Dark wood finish: The chair has a rich, dark stain, typical of late 19th-century American furniture, which emphasized warm, deep wood tones.
