Fine Late Victorian Aesthetic Movement Salon Chair
The shaped back rail with midnight blue velour upholstery, edged with a purple piping, standing on a turned, reeded, ebonised and gilt heightened column to either side, the central splat with intricate carving to the base and shaped throughout, the centre unusual inlaid with a blue and white jasper ware plaque depicting a greek scene, surrounded with a rosewood frame, itself inlaid with four panels, intersected with stars.
The seat also inlaid with midnight blue velour and similarly piped with purple, raised above a wonderful rosewood frieze, again inlaid as the ovular panel was, with panels between each leg.
The front legs further detailed. The tops with square rosewood panels, centrally inlaid with a star, surrounded with three graduated squares, leading to the waisted, turned & tapering leg. Each ebonised throughout, with gilt heightened reeded detail from top to bottom, directed with a waisted band.
