An extremely rare mid 18th century carved mahogany child’s chair. The acanthus carved crest rail and splat back with shaped arms, having drop-in seat upholstered in 19th century needlework; on acanthus carved cabriole legs terminating in claw and ball feet with later bar and foot rest. Standing on original stand with conforming cabriole legs united by turned under-stretchers.
This is better than the example illustrated in ‘The Dictionary of English Furniture’ having finer carving to crest rail and knees as well as being removable from the stand.
