It is not very ornate. It does have a simple carving at the top of the shield.the legs and supports appear to have been turned on a lathe not cut out and shaped.

My passion is antique bamboo, greenheart, and lancewood fly rods. I especially love British fly rods and wooden Nottingham reels. My big hobby is refurbishing antique fly rods that have seen better days. I strip them down, repair as needed, replace broken and corroded hardware, put on varnishand then wrap on the guides. I put nickle silver hardware on all my refurbished rods as well as an antique agate stripping guide and antique agate tip top. Both have nickle silver bezels.</p><p> When I shop for antique furniture I always keep my eye out for antique rods. It can be quite a treasure hunt at times. Once in a while I find a real beauty for nothing but a song. Sometimes I just can't believe what people are getting rid of so cheap!!!</p><p>I will try to put a picture of the shield back chair on this sight. I am quite computer illiterate. It's kind of funny, I can tie some of the most complex full dress married wing Atlantic salmon flies in the world but I have difficulty putting a picture on a computer.
