Chair identification help

Hello; I’m new here.

I’m hoping that one of you kind people will be able to help me identify the age of this chair, or any other information would be helpful. I’ve never seen anything like it, and it’s a beauty.

Many thanks.

 

It is a beauty and I can not wait to hear the insight of those who are very knowledgeable have to say.

Welcome Happy Yogi.

Looks English, maybe 1920-30. Hard to tell looking down.

Welcome, Happy Yogi. Nice chair.

 

Thanks for the tip - I’ve changed the settings. Daylight has failed today, but tomorrow I’ll take the chair outside and take some better pictures. It’s good news that think it’s 1920s-30s; I’m furnishing a flat in a Georgian house in a shoestring, so my choice is limited. I’m glad I’ve found a piece with some real age.

 

Pretty much agree with clutteredcloset but possibly just a tad older … Edwardian?

 

Yes, now that I can see the larger picture, I think you are right.

 

Good morning everyone. I've been cleaning up the chair and I also took off the modern fabric cover that has been stapled in place some years ago. I was over the moon to discover this fabulous yellow brocade underneath!

There has also been a significant 'fix' on one arm.

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and please do let me know if any other photos would help.

 

It was a beautiful chair in the first photos, but it looks really 'glorious' now. What a difference an appropriate fabric can make.
And a clean.

 

Very nicely done.

 

Welcome Happy Yogi. Nice job on the chair. Congrats.

 

Wow!

 

Mid to late 19th C Gothic Revival mahogany. I suspect that's a removals label, rather than a retailer, but can you get a more straight on photo? It's not a 20s or 30s label, anyhow.

Base has had a sightly later cover put on underneath, I think, and the chair has been redone with that yellow. The yellow is lovely - I don't think it's original, might have been velvet or even leather. The innards would be a clue, but I'd not touch that upholstery, frankly.

 

After looking at the entire post, I have to agree with Ownedbybear, 150% regarding the fabric.

Love that chair, you did very good on the shoe string. It could be your calling

 

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and expertise, it’s been fascinating to read!

Thanks for your expertise Ownedbybear; I was hoping for gothic revival and as it’s going into an early Victorian house, it would be very fitting. As for the label, that’s as straight as I could get it - the label itself is stuck in the seat recess, and was too big for it to lay flat.

 

It's a nice find, with that upholstery, I think it will look splendid. If you're in that neck of the woods, there's some decent second hand shops in Southsea.

 

I'm in deepest darkest Lincolnshire! It's quite wonderful to have found something that was being offered as a 'shabby chic' project and has some real age to it. Thank you so much for your help.
