A beautifully carved Northern Italian corner chair in solid walnut, c. 1860. Rich in detail and full of character, this dramatic piece depicts classical motifs typical of C19th Italian craftsmanship.
 
The shaped back features a finely carved cherub at the centre, flanked by pierced splats with mythical griffins. Turned and carved column supports frame the back, while the apron is decorated with floral carving and elegant shaping. The drop-in seat has been newly upholstered, and the chair remains in excellent condition throughout both structurally and in its surface detail.
