About the Item

This elegant chair embodies the Victorian Rococo Revival style popular from the 1840s to the 1870s. Crafted from dark hardwood—likely walnut—it features the signature balloon-back form with a rounded, carved rail and cabriole legs. The seat is upholstered in a hand-stitched floral needlepoint, depicting pink and yellow roses on a soft blue-green background, finished with trim along the seat edge. Refined yet inviting, this chair represents the artistry of mid-19th-century parlor furniture—romantic in form, finely detailed, and unmistakably Victorian.
