<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 38435, member: 44&quot;]Lovely balloon back gentleman&#039;s arm chair with casters. That crest as well as the arms may be hand carved. I also think latter half of 19th century like 1860s-1890s.</p><p><br /></p><p>This chair has a fauteuil flavor with those straight legs and ornate arm carvings also. Possibly a Victorian fauteuil??</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;A <i><b>fauteuil</b></i> is a style of open-arm chair with a primarily exposed wooden frame originating in France in the early 17th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;A <i>fauteuil</i> is made of wood, and frequently with carved relief ornament. It is typically upholstered on the seat, the seat back and on the arms (<i>manchettes</i>).
