8358 Antique Mahogany Empire Side #Chair with Rush Seat

This side chair features a mahogany frame with a deep, dark patina. The backrest is composed of a broad, scrolled crest rail with protruding rounded corners and a central vase-shaped splat. The seat is a tightly woven natural rush in an envelope pattern, secured within a slightly bowed front rail. The front legs exhibit a pronounced cabriole curve terminating in simple feet, while the rear legs are square-sectioned and gently raked. There are visible signs of age including a small loss of wood on the upper left corner of the crest rail and localized finish wear on the stiles and legs. The construction shows traditional joinery with visible fasteners on the back of the stiles. 23h x 18w x 16d
