Antique Victorian Convertible High Chair, Converts To Rocker And Rolling Chair
Item History & Price
Very unique and cool looking Antique Victorian Convertible High Chair. This converts from a child's high chair to lower rolling chair or rocking chair in the lowest setting. I believe the wood is walnut but may possibly be oak. The wood is in overall great condition and has a great looking, deep original finish with the genuine antique patina you are looking for. By looking at similar chairs I would guess the age of this to be late 1800's to early 1900's vintage.
The iron mechanism ...to convert the chair works well in all positions. The cast iron wheels roll freely and are a great antique piece just by themselves. The tray table flips up and behind the chair to allow for easier entrance to the chair or for using the chair beyond meal time in rocker or roller modes.
The flaws in this piece are as follows and as show in the photos. The chair is missing the cane woven inserts that used to exist in the chair seat and chair back. These could be replaced for use or the item could displayed as is. The tray table has gap at the front where some aspect of the wood has shrunken or expanded with age. The tray table is secure and functioning but would need some restoration to shore up the gap in the front of the tray.
This would look great as an antique show piece or could be restored to use as a fully functioning child's seat again.I will post higher quality additional pictures shortly, or please message if you are looking for detailed pictures of specific areas.
