Description : | Chippendale style chair with drop in seat upholstered in pink/gold brocade. All dowel construction except for steel screws in corner seat supports, and nails in ends of stretchers between the two side stretchers. Scallop motif on top of back rail. Condition Report: General condition is that the piece is apparently complete, sound, stable, with no distortion. The chair sits flat on four legs, the joints are tight, there is no insect damage, and only light wear, nicks, and scrapes. The finish is glossy with little wear. The wood exhibits many small nicks and darkened dents and scars. The steel is oxidized but stable. As for the silk, it is faded and weakened. Many of the green/gold threads on the green/pink motif are almost disintegrated near the front, where it was subject to increased wear. |
