    I rescued this chair from the resale shop, because the arm needs professional repair. They glued the arm back in, but they think it won't stay. They asked me to pay them a nominal amount and take it home. Unfortunately, I have no room in my house for it. So, I am going to try place it to a good home. I know a professional repair shop, but I think it is better to tell potential customers about the arm repair rather than do it myself. There is also a small tear in the seat cover.

    It is like they put everything under the sun into this chair.
    (I hope I get the names right)
    • Incised Carving
    • Twisted Spindles
    • Cabriole Front Legs
    • Carved Splat
    • Brass Wheels
    • Needlepoint Seat Cover
    • Flowers decals
    It is 43.5 inches tall and 24.5 inches at the widest point of the arms. There are no maker marks.

    I want to do it justice in my description, so the right person finds it. I am guessing at Victorian because it is so ornate. @Roaring20s tracked down the exact same chair - sold as Art Nouveau. Any thoughts on the seller's description? Any help appreciated. It should be gracing someone's home and not in the trash, where it was headed.

    Wow. I can't believe it. You found the same exact chair! I did an image search and couldn't find anything. This is sensational news. I keep looking at it startled. Thank you so much!

    Amazing chair. Doesn't have a single properly Art Nouveau feature, though.
    It clearly is from that era, so people will understand if you call it that.
    Looks a bit like those Chippendale drawings where he shows all the options available with just one chair. Someone will find room for it, I'm sure.

    Would not call this art nouveau. Edwardian mish-mash. Think probably from the UK.
