This very lovely velvet armchair looked decidedly elegant in one corner
of my late Mother-in-Laws sitting-room. I am not sure, but believe it
was bought in Sydney quite a few years back. My husband said he recalls
having seen it since he was a young man.
However, men generally do not take that much notice of decor!
This is a most delightful feminine armchair and would make a charming addition
to a sitting room surrounded by antiques with rich fabrics of golds and reds,silks,
tapestries etc.
It is beautifully proportioned and extremely comfortable, simply gorgeous to sit in.
Covered in an excellent quality beige/taupe coloured velvet. One of those velvets
that take on a different colour at different angles. The cushion on the chair appears
to be slightly darker in colour, but whether that is intentional I would not
know. The velvet is in excellent condition. The curved back is buttoned giving
it a quilted effect. In the photo the lower part of the chair looks much
lighter but in fact it is not.
Where normally you would have piping on the cushion, it has an extremely fine
short silk stubble fringe giving it a very rich and luxurious look. It
has obviously been a most expesive upholstry job.
There is a pink silk fringe on surrounding the bottom of the chair, once again
adding to that luxurious look.
The addition of a rich silk scatter cushion, and the overall effect is
simply stunning. The one pictured is not included.
Condition:
As mentioned this chair is in excellent used condition for its age. There
are no stains or spillages, no rips or tears. Nor any signs of wear
from rubbing. There is some minor fading but once again very difficult
to ascertain as the velvet changes in different lights.
Structurally, the chair is very sound and could be placed in a room for
immediate use.
Please check my listing for other items coming up over the coming weeks
from my Mother-in-Laws Estate and other family members.
