Victorian Carved Balloon Back Chair – Needlepoint Seat, c.19th Century
A classic 19th-century Victorian side chair featuring a carved balloon back and richly detailed floral needlepoint seat. The top rail showcases a beautifully carved fruit basket and scrolling foliage motif, with a matching floral carving on the center rail and front apron—hallmarks of the Rococo Revival style.
Crafted in warm-toned hardwood, likely walnut, the chair offers elegant curvature and craftsmanship throughout. The dark upholstered seat displays a colorful hand-stitched bouquet, bordered with gimp trim. Its compact yet decorative form makes it ideal as an accent chair, vanity seat, or collectible display piece for traditional interiors.
Condition
Good condition overall, with visible signs of use and age-related wear. Evidence of previous restoration and older repairs are present but structurally sound. Surface marks and scuffs are consistent with the chair’s age and history. The seat upholstery remains intact and visually appealing.
Dimensions
Overall: 35 x 18 x 17 inches
Seat: 18 x 18 x 15 inches
