This is a very fine example of early Victorian style furniture. I believe this is from the Rococo Period, probably inspired by Belter made from 1845 to 1865. This style chair was called a slipper chair. I guess ladies sat in this chair to put on and take off their slippers This is a beautifulchair with a solid walnut wood carved back. It very fancy with great design. The chair has a patted seat, and only a couple of littlespots which can easily be cleaned. A true Victorian antique...s, and ones that are getting scarce.
