Key Features & Authenticity: Classic Design: Features the iconic "shield back" with hand-carved wheat-sheaf/fan pierced splats. Period Construction: Hand-pegged joinery and original single-slot hand-cut screws are visible, dating the piece to the late 18th or very early 19th century. Material: Solid mahogany with a deep, aged patina. Legs: Sturdy, square tapered legs typical of the Federal/Georgian era. Comfort: Features sweeping "manchette" arms and a wide, comfortable seat. Condition: This chair is a "survivor" and shows honest wear consistent with its 200+ year age. There are some stable cracks in the delicate back splats and minor chips to the finish (please see photos). The upholstery is older and shows some staining; it is a perfect candidate for a fresh fabric update to match your decor. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of 18th-century history. Perfect as a desk chair, hall accent piece, or for a collector of English furniture
