Hand-carved antique armchair, likely an 18th century British design, adorned with hand-forged iron tacks and tawny leather seat. Exquisite leaf pattern detailing on chair back and upper legs with clawfoot finish on tbottom of front legs. Beautiful patina from age. Exact height, width and depth to be added shortly.
This was gifted to me by my grandfather, who was a fine art collector. All other details are unknown.
