Highly carved Victorian walnut lounge chair with dramatic Rococo cresting — a substantial, designer-ready frame ideal for custom reupholstery. ⸻ Full Description This late 19th-century Victorian Rococo Revival lounge chair features a beautifully hand-carved walnut frame with pierced crestwork, scrolling arms, and deeply carved cabriole legs. The scale is generous and architectural, standing 41 inches tall with a wide 29-inch front presence and a comfortable 27-inch depth. The oval tufted back is framed by intricate open carving that highlights the craftsmanship of the piece. The arms terminate in bold scroll forms, and the apron and legs carry consistent carved detail throughout, creating a visually balanced and structurally strong silhouette. The existing upholstery is original and present but worn. The seat cushion shows visible foam exposure at the front edge, and fabric exhibits age-appropriate wear throughout. The frame itself is solid and structurally sound, making this an excellent candidate for a full custom reupholstery. This is an ideal acquisition for a designer or upholsterer seeking a dramatic carved foundation to transform into a bespoke statement piece. The carving and proportions do the heavy lifting — your fabric selection will complete the vision. This chair is part of a coordinating Victorian seating suite. Companion large sofa and matching settee are available separately in our shop. Please inquire for combined purchase consideration. ⸻ Why We Love It • Substantial scale and presence • Pierced Rococo crest carving • Deeply carved walnut frame • Strong structural integrity • Ideal foundation for high-end custom upholstery This is the kind of carved frame designers actively search for — the craftsmanship is already there. ⸻ Measurements Overall Width (front): 29” Overall Depth: 27” Overall Height: 41” Seat Cushion: 21” W x 25” D ⸻ Condition Original upholstery present with visible wear consistent with age.
