Queen Anne Mahogany Arm Chair
The scrolled crest rail with volutes is flat in back with rounded edges. The shell is carved from the solid. The serpentine butterfly back splat with carved volutes is one piece of wood. The stiles pierced at their curves are rounded in back. The arm supports, pegged to the arms, are rounded behind their shaped fronts; the arm supports rounded in the front with serpentine back edges are screwed to the side rails. The bold carved balloon seat with cut out flat arch and half arches on the sides has an applied rounded rim cut from the same stock. The seat rails are through tenoned as are the carved cabriole legs which end in trifid feet, each with a central raised tongue. The antique finish is hand applied and rubbed to achieve a rich patina.
